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.

Lost a day on China time...14 hour time difference is very difficult to adjust to!

5k on the treadmill in Shanghai. No running outside on this trip...the combination of not speaking Chinese, potential for getting lost, smog, hot and humid, no working phone, time, and energy was just too much to overcome. But I am definitely going to have to figure something out as it sounds like I'll be in China 3-4 times a year!

AM - 4 miles on the treadmill. In hindsight I should've just taken the week off - the running on the treadmill changed my biomechanics too much and caused my abdomen to hurt again... I feel like I just lost the last 2 months of progress!

AM - Got my lost 14 hours back and got into Portland, Maine around midnight. The travel was tough and I wasn't feeling too great. I ended up being wide awake until 4:30am then woke up for the Wedding Mile race about 10 minutes before the start. I tried to run hard but didn't even wear a watch because I didn't want to know. I think they picked the hilliest course possible! Afterwards Jake and I ran 4 more miles at a snails pace.
