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.

Started at Mutual Dell golf course, ran down Emigration Canyon, then along Wasatch Drive/Blvd to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon.  http://twitpic.com/4xk55e 

 It was great to have Jake's friend Bryan join us on this run - mixes things up a big. We mapped out this course in order to see what the downhill would feel like at Utah Valley, but it definitely had some incline as well.

 I felt pretty well until about mile 13, then the week caught up to me a little bit (and the downhill ended). I struggled up the last pretty steep section around 16, but that was somewhat expected since it was near the end and a long run. I was happy to hop on the bike for the last 7 miles and cruise while the boys finished up their run. It feels good to be done with that by 9am!
