Boulder Running Company Staff
Lori Hill
Originally from Littleton, Co. Came from a running family and have been running in some form since I was 7. Started working for the BRC in Littleton right out of college when the opportunity to move to the Springs came up in 2000 and I haven't looked back since. Having fun running with the women's team, coaching a running program at an Elementary School and working with my husband every day :)
Cody Hill
Born and raised in Montrose,CO. Growing up I was very involved with running and cycling as my chosen sports. Even though my passion was cycling I realized that I was much better at running so I dedicated myself to it my senior year of high school and ran well enough to earn a scholarship to run at Western State College in Gunnison CO. My college career was an up and down time battling injuries. After graduating I moved to Denver and started working at Boulder Running Company, coached high school track and cross country. While there I met Lori my wife to be. We moved to Colorado Springs in the summer of 2000 and opened the store that September. Our daughter Sydney was born in July of 2004, so life now is a mix of working, family life and running.
Abby Housefield
Abby grew up in the small town of Hays, Ks. She primarily played tennis and soccer through high school, and continued on to play tennis for Fort Hays State University. In the midst of training for tennis and soccer, she fell in love with running. Since she moved out to Colorado, in 2006, she has participated in a marathon, an Ironman, and is currently training for the Steamboat marathon. Abby is graduating May 2011 from UCCS with her B.S. in Nutrition and hopes to continue on in the field.
Hi. My name is Shannon.
I'm an Okie from Muskogee just like Shawn! Except not really because I'm really from Franktown, which is in Colorado. My favorite things are running, big words, and otters. I graduated from UCCS in 2009 with a psychology degree, which is funny to me sometimes. I used to want to be a sports psychologist, but I changed my mind. Mostly I got my degree in track and cross country and spent more time running than studying. My bad. Right now, I compete on the BRC/adidas team with the intention of eventually amounting to something in the wide, wide, world of post-collegiate running.
I am 5'6 with semi-blondish hair and bluish-green eyes, although I am at times an awkward conversationalist, I really like long runs, Qdoba, various outdoor activities, and I'm a really cheap date.
