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 - Went to the gym for spin but apparently Saturday morning classes are packed. So I did 20 min upright bike, 20 min recumbent bike, 10 min elliptical, and 10 min stairmaster. Obviously I get bored really easily in the gym.

Then headed to the SLC 15K and got there just in time to wish people luck before the race started. The wind chill made standing outside in the elements quite unpleasant, so I headed indoors to wait. I was only one of very very few at the race that was not running. Time went fast and before I knew it, the top runners were coming in. Nice times for a lots of people despite the less than ideal conditions. I ran a cooldown with the crew, met Josse and ran a couple with her as well. 6.3 miles total. My feet went completely numb for about 3 miles to the point where I could barely even feel when they hit the ground. Very awkward and uncomfortable - all my foot problems don't seem to fare well cold temperatures. 

Took a few pics but not as many as last time because I couldn't handle the cold!

 

WINDY!!!!

I can't wait until we don't have any pictures from the races, BUT that is because you are out there running! :-)
