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 - Met Allie for 5 miles around Millcreek. 7:30 pace. Easy days today and tomorrow! I usually feel nervous before races, but TOU hasn't gotten me too anxious. Yet!

You are so going to KILL TOU!! I can't wait to see what you do! Awesome doesn't even come close to describing you!!!

I am glad you don't feel nervous. You should feel incredibly confident going into this race because you have worked your butt off and are so so ready!

Stay relaxed, stay in the orb... nothing to be nervous about... you're super fit and have been hitting your workouts perfectly. Can't wait to see how many guys get chicked on Saturday! :-)

I'm definitely glad I'm not there to get chicked!

No need to be nervous. It's a laid back race and lots of fun. Just enjoy it.

I have to say, I think you guys might have more confidence in me than I do! haha It's great to have the support. Today I'm definitely a little more nervous, but as long as I eat my typical day-before-race dinner of mac and cheese and ice cream I should be good to go!
