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.

Best weekend of skiing yet. We skied soft powder in the morning and perfect slush in the afternoon. I was able to skin over 3300ft today and 5300ft total for the weekend! I've said this before, but skinning up the mountain is the ideal cross training for running - aerobic stimulus at altitude, constant work on balance and stability, controlled and methodical movements, increased hip extension, and big reward of skiing back down :) Plus, I feel so good when I'm skinning....

Unfortunately, I have now come down with a cold and anticipate being completely useless tomorrow. I just hope I don't get Jake sick!

Completely exhausted today...slept 15 of the last 20 hours! I already feel quite a bit better, but somehow I am still tired. I did manage to meet Jake for a short run at Wheeler Farm, 3.2 miles at 7:30 pace. PT: 20 minutes general and rolling.

Annual Work Indoor Triathlon: 31:09

2 mile run - 13:49.....0.5mi x (8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.7mph)
1 mile elliptical - 7:08
4 mile upright bike - 9:45

I had 100% decided to do this easy and just participate for fun. And I started off well....but then I got competitive (shocker, I know). I gradually picked up the pace on the run then went hard on the elliptical and the upright bike. I had no pain during the triathlon and only the usual minor discomfort in my groin afterwards. It was a great workout - first time I've had to push myself in a while :) 

PM - 2.3 miles, 8:00 pace. PT: 20 minutes general.
