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.

Tempo Tuesday! Ran 10 miles with Jake A with 5K in 20:59 (7:02, 6:38, 6:36, :43). The initial goal was to run the tempo at 7:15 pace but the faster pace felt like the right effort for both of us. Jake A showed me how to get from work to the JRP (2.25 miles - not bad!), and we ran on there for most of the run. My back has started to bother me a bit again since the 5K on Saturday, so I need to figure that out before it becomes a problem again.

I've been MIA on blog commenting lately, and now see you have an awesome new photo looking like a hardcore runner, and another awesome 5k under your belt. You sure are progressing well!

A Kara Goucher quote I love: "Acknowledge all of your small victories. They will eventually add up to something great."

Although I wouldn't call your victories small, so your big victories are adding up to something even greater!
