2015 - A new beginning!

2015 is going to be exciting for numerous reasons. I am unbelievably grateful for all the support I have received from family, friends, and certainly my sponsors over the past two years.

2014 was a tough year as a competitor, however it was my most successful year as a runner. I struggled with fatigue and mono early in the summer which definitely hindered some of my running plans. I also struggled getting used to a "competitive runners" lifestyle. Increased mileage as well as living with the  altitude of Leadville was just leaving me run down and essentially lost. I under performed early and felt so tired some days I didn't want to walk to work. I asked Sage and Sandi for some advice and they were more than amazing on getting me back on track. Great friends and coaches!

2014 brought me 2 wins (1 more than 2013) and I am working hard to take my running to an even higher level in 2015. I have learned a lot to say the least, and am so excited to welcome in 2015. A few changes for me personally are in store for 2015:

-I moved to Breckenridge, Colorado from Leadville.
-I took a position managing Vertical Runner Breckenridge.
-I am a proud member/captain of Team Vertical Runner Elite Mountain Team.
-My focus will be pure mountain running with hopes of making the US Mountain Running Team.
-I am hosting a RUNNING CAMP in Breckenridge, check out Vertical Runner to get the details.
