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.

Good to know that the Jordan High School track by work is open in the mornings. 5 miles with co-worker Jake. We ran my "get back into workouts" workout of 2 x (4 x 200m) with equal recovery and 400m between sets.  The 200s were an average 40.8s. I love 200s because they make you feel fast! Coworker Jake is just getting into running so I'm helping him train for the Saltair Half in November. I'm planning to rope him into joining FRB as well.
