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 - 20 minutes on the exercise bike. 

I figured out why my injury has been so irritated. On Sunday, I decided to try this Drill and Strength Circuit. I would highly recommend it for others that are healthy, but it turns out my muscles cannot handle that yet. It's crazy to me that a few high knees and butt kicks can cause so many problems, but it's good to know because I still have a lot to work on before trying to run more. 

PM - Upper body weight training and strengthening for 40 minutes. Alter-G treadmill super easy run, 9 min pace at 65% bodyweight. Walked backwards for a while. Then I floated in the pool while Jake did his pool running.

Well, we know that skiing and drill circuits are not in the cards quite yet.

At least there is something specific causing the flare-ups now instead of it being for no reason at all. That's progress!

You're like me. I will go over every detail in my head for several days to discover what would have caused a problem. I'm sure after some easy days, you'll be back up to where you were without issues.

Floating sounds fun. :-) that's about the only thing I know how to do in the pool.

Hope the flare up is settling. Hadley's stuff is excellent. When I'm back to 100% I think I'll try those drills - they might be more forgiving than the ones I was doing.

Hang in there, you are so close to being back. Stay patient and keep listening to your body and you'll get there.
