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 - Really excited about my run this morning! Miles were 7:43, 6:50, 6:19, 6:17, then easy 0.4 home. Looked down at the watch at mile 2 to see a sub-7 and I must've gotten a little hyped up. I felt great though - really felt like I was RUNNING today. I had no pain and made sure to focus on form and running within my means. It turns out that my body still knows exactly what marathon pace is!
