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.

Jake 2:20:41! PR :)

Spectated CIM with Ericka - we were able to get to 5 spots along the course to cheer on the trio and even got in some running of our own. It was VERY COLD for racing and I think this factor resulted in slower times than is typical for this race. Muscles can never warm-up with temperatures in the 20s and none of the top competitors have any body fat for warmth! 

A few hours after the race, I went for a short 2.5 mile run along the river. 

Here are some photos of the race (Jake will put others up on his blog too). Unfortunately I forgot my good camera at the hotel so most of these are poor quality iPhone pics.

I got my Twitter update when I got up at the crack of 12:30 EST. A fine cap to the the year. Hope he is pleased and you didn't freeze spectating.

So fun to be able to watch. I think watching marathons is almost better than running them.

I just added some photos from the race!

You set the gold standard for marathon spectating. You always get to at least one more place that I would expect you to be at.

Thanks... it helps :-)

Great photos. Jake looks like he's on a pleasure cruise at mile 25.5.

The only pleasure was knowing there was only 4 minutes left!

At least Jake's garb should've kept him well-protected from all those bay area hunters!

Cool photos!
