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.

Took the day off today to go skiing. Although we took a slightly different route, Jake and I ended up hiking to the exact same spot as Wednesday. Very cold at Alta which means we hiked up 20 minutes faster this time. The recent storm brought 4" of new snow = perfect dust-on-crust skiing down.

Nice warmer morning run with Kassi and Allie. This was the best I've felt running this far in a very long time. My belief in balance and stability training (that Jake and I have been doing for the past month) is rising.
