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 - Saltair 5K (6:03, 6:00, 6:12, :22). Course was ~10 seconds short. I was happy with my effort and how I felt physically throughout the race.  I had a few guys to run with the first mile and then it was a solo effort the rest of the way. The third mile was slower which can be attributed to lack of longer or faster runs. This was probably the best conditions at any Saltair race - cold (30 degrees) but no wind and sunny. Warm up of 2 miles and cooldown of 1 mile.

If I had unlimited resources, I'd make custom fathead life-sized wall clings of every picture from that day. I still regret running on the TM that morning.

Awesome - Well done getting under 19 mins. Good to see you continuing to progress nicely after such a long recovery.
