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.

5th Annual BD 5K. I've done a total of two miles fast in the last 7 months and it was quite hot outside so I had a feeling that was going to be brutal. And it was! My legs still felt dead from all the skiing and moving and running over Memorial Day weekend. I started out way too fast on the downhill mile (5:46) then kept a relatively consistent pace for the last two hilly miles (6:27, 6:27). Limiting factor was fitness, not structural which is a great sign. This has really motivated me to want to get in better running shape...which probably won't happen until after the wedding and honeymoon, but hopefully by the fall :)

Fantastic. I like to burn an opening mile once in a while to see what happens and scare off competitors. Glad to see things are going well.
