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.

7.1 miles at the beach, 8:12 pace. The humidity is quite a shock to the system - so much sweat! I'm really happy with the run and can feel my stride starting to come back. Now for some maxin' and relaxin' on the beach.

4 mile run with Jake and his parents at UNC Wilmington. Jake's dad pushed the pace so we would hit under 8 min/mile. Nice run in the 100% humidity (fog). Feeling better running every day.

3.5 miles with Jake in the middle of the afternoon in NC. The heat and humidity sapped my energy within 5 minutes and it was a shuffle the rest of the way.

7.5 miles in Wrightsville Beach / Wilmington with Jake, 8:10 pace. We wandered around and found a nice shaded trail to run on for a while. I can't get over how great it has felt to run with no pain the last couple days.

4 miles around home, 8:20 pace. Felt a little groin discomfort and adductor soreness which caused old compensation patterns to phase in and out. I think the bike ride yesterday made it all a little tired. Easy the rest of the day should take care of it.

6 miles around home, 8:45 pace. I didn't feel great in my groin but the slower pace was better. Probably need a day off.
