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.

My hometown of Knoxville, TN got 8" of snow last night - the most since the "Blizzard of '93". There is soo much excitement for snow there...wish I was home right now! If only people were as happy when it was snowing here :)

Were you even born yet in 1993? :-)

I was 6! There's even a wikipedia article about it!

I remember the Blizzard of '93! Mike Phoenix was our neighborhood's paperboy... it was a team effort to get the newspapers out - w/ me and his brothers. We were off school for a couple days (which is crazy in upstate NY).

That is crazy! Did they shut down the city? I am feeling jealous of all of these crazy snow storms.

Wikipedia mentions your age in 1993?

Snowmagedon would be nice, but I am kind of liking this SUNSHINE!

I hope you really made that edit to Wikipedia.

From Amiee on Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 21:15:54 from 166.70.240.95

Ha ha! I didn't catch that with the first read :) I can't believe I have a friend that was only six years old in 1993!

David Letterman called the Blizzard of 93 the "Blizzardo Diablo". I remember it well, several inches of snow in Greenville, SC. I remember it because Ann and I went to see Def Leppard that night and almost didn't make it home.
