Personal:

I am originally from Knoxville, TN and moved to SLC with Jake in 2010. I started racing in 2011 and had some great success before a major injury hit me in July 2012. I had athletic pubalgia surgery in May 2013...then again in Sept 2014 and am still trying to get back to my old self. Although running is my true passion, I love doing pretty much anything active outdoors - backcountry skiing, backpacking, biking, etc. 

I've been running for the Saucony Team since 2011. I enjoy representing the brand and really do believe they make the best shoes :)

I work as a Quality Engineer for BD Medical in Sandy.

AM - 2 miles on the treadmill.

PM - Workout this afternoon. 9.5 miles total.

3 mile tempo (6:09, 6:22, 6:17), 0.5 mile jog

1 mile (6:13)

The 3 mile tempo felt harder than marathon pace usually feels, not sure why. I haven't run fast intervals in a long time, so that was quite a shock to the system (16 and 12 at 10k pace, 8 and 4 at 5k pace). The final marathon mile did feel pretty easy in comparison though. Hard workout today.
