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.

Aren't you proud of me for sticking to the workout?! After the first couple 400s, I started to get bored and debated running another 1600 to get it over with faster but then talked myself out of it b/c it probably would've been too hard on my right leg and I needed to focus on speed.

First workout you haven't made a change on the fly :-)
