After high school, Moody went on to compete at Colorado University. While there, she won the Big 12 Conference Outdoor Championships in the 10,000m as a freshman and was a member of the 2000 NCAA Champion Colorado Buffaloes cross country team. After graduation, she took a short break from serious distance running and worked as a personal trainer and real estate agent. In 2005 she ran surprisingly well in her first marathon - finishing the 2005 Chicago Marathon in 2:50:04.

Most recently, Moody took home 5th place at the USA Half Marathon Championships with a time of 1:12:30
