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 - Ran an out-and-back on the  Mid Mountain Trail in Park City with Jake, 7 miles. I love this trail and hope to run it a bunch of times this summer/fall, gradually getting closer to the full 22 miles. This is my longest run in 17 months so that makes me really happy :)

Just miles and miles of this - 

PM - Biked to Sprouts for food and back, 6 miles.

Ran an out-and-back on the Pipeline Trail in Millcreek Canyon with Jake. We are hoping to start doing this run once a week for the summer/fall as it is close to home. We ran 7 miles around 8:45 pace - my right leg started feeling really tired after about 5 miles so it was probably a little too soon from Sunday's run but overall a good run.

My first Ragnar. Overall I had a great time and felt like our van dynamic was awesome. I would say we had the "luxury" experience, as we got to relax in homes in between legs and had a 15 passenger van. I can see how this event could be really fun or really miserable, so I'm glad we got the good end of the bargain :)

Friday 6pm Leg 8 - 7.1 flat miles around Pineview Reservoir in Huntsville, Utah at 7:13 pace. SO HOT. This run pushed my current limits of distance, speed, and heat. I really enjoyed the challenge and was so happy to be limited by fitness instead of structural problems. I got quite overheated by the end of the run despite pouring several bottles of cold water on me. This photo is at about mile 6 at the peak of my water desperation -

Saturday 4am Leg 19 - Early, cold, and dark 4 miles on a very gradual uphill +1% (7:30 pace) in Coalville. The majority of this run was on a dirt rail trail which made the footing uneasy with only a headlamp. 

Saturday 2pm Leg 33 - 4.3 miles, first 3 at -10% falling off a cliff (6:20 pace), then flat to the end (7:30 pace). The downhill was way too steep to enjoy at all. Hot run at 92 degrees again so I was pretty overheated by the end.
