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 - 25 min on the bike, 15 min on the elliptical.
PM - 15 min on the bike with a few pick-ups, strength training, and 10 min on the elliptical. Totally boring.

to answer yesterday's question.....EASY miles after a few rest days CROSS-training and a GREAT MASSEUSE!! don't be discouraged. You will pull out of it. I did.

I think because we run so well in training and in our race that we think (at least runners like ourselves) that we don't need to cut back....A marathon is EXTREMELY stressful on the body...and my thought is that what happens to our body is ADRENAL fatigue....the hormone that handles stress..if you look about adrenal hormones...back pain is listed if is low and this isn't because of a disease but from OVERtraining ourselves. Just take a few yoga moments and sleep 8 hours a night. Let your body heal and your levels will come back up all on their own with healthy eating and sleep habits and decreasing mileage. I feel my adrenal hormones are back to where they were FINALLY and so my body and back aches I was having A LOT of is now dissipated. Just a theory of mine.

Yeah, I probably should've taken 1-2 weeks completely off from running...but there always seems to be a reason TO run. One of the biggest challenges for runners is taking time off, and the ones that do it are the ones that stay healthy. I'm doing pretty good on the sleep, now I just need to eat healthier so I don't feel like I have to run!
