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 around Sugarhouse and Millcreek with Jake, 10.1 miles just under 8:00 pace. It's been a while since I've run for that long so I was pretty worn-out by the end.

Lunch run in Dimple Dell, ~5 miles. Felt fast on the way back and then realized it was because I had a 20 mph tailwind :)

USATF Utah XC Champs (6:06, 6:32, 6:35, 1:28 for ~0.2).

I haven't raced in a cross country race in many years, and I forgot how challenging it is to run fast on grass. I went out too hard in the beginning then struggled to maintain ~6:30 pace. It's hard to know if I'm getting in better shape or not, but I felt like I ran hard today. The course was 4 loops and the weather was perfect. Next up: annual work turkey trot on Thursday!
