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.

Total Distance

7.50

AM - 4.5 miles really easy, first half with Jake. Feel pretty exhausted and have a little pain in my foot, so I gotta be careful about not overdoing it.

PM - 3 miles easy around Sugarhouse. Was planning to do more, but felt so fatigued that I called it early. It's probably about time to have a lower mileage week.

I finally bought some liquid iron. Then Allie told me on Saturday that it tastes like blood so I'm afraid to try it.

You are getting WAY to into Twilight if you are drinking blood flavored products

Yikes! I wonder if you could mix it with Mt. dew or something. Blood red mountain dew sounds pretty good right?

From Kam on Mon, Apr 09, 2012 at 09:54:45 from 68.66.163.179

I think they sell that as Code Red.

From Jake K on Mon, Apr 09, 2012 at 10:02:47 from 155.100.226.54

Code Red to the extreme!

Ewww...I think I just threw up a little!!

You guys are not helping!!

From Lily on Mon, Apr 09, 2012 at 11:02:01 from 67.199.178.210

it kinda does....but um, drink it with something else, that should help.

Be careful with your foot girly. easy peasy for a few days maybe?

Mix with OJ and drink through a straw. Try not to let it touch your teeth. It stains them. Follow up with a vitamin c supplement. That's how we did it in college and it seemed to work well. Of course, we got so used to it we would just swig it. The only thing about it that tastes like blood is the metallic aftertaste.

*gag*

Good luck with that...sounds like Emily has the best, proven plan. I just keep seeing blood stained smiling teeth! If only it tasted like Code Red!!!

From Tara on Mon, Apr 09, 2012 at 18:09:54 from 75.169.147.99

Tastes like blood! Ha ha ha ha! I bet it does! Well, if Bella could do it for her baby, then you can do it for running:)

From Cam on Mon, Apr 09, 2012 at 23:03:51 from 174.52.138.46

how much blood has allie consumed? Night group runs now are out of the question

From JulieC on Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 03:37:20 from 67.41.189.230

if you got the floradix brand, it just looks like blood, but does NOT taste like it. Okay, I actually haven't tasted my blood lately...Mainly floradix tastes like prune juice and you get used to it!! Careful pouring out of the bottle...the expensive brand invented a bottle that can make you run out sooner. MARKETING!!!!

Did you try it yet? I down it really fast and quickly chug down a glass of oj or emergen-c

I really think the liquid is better absorbed. Mine is strawberry flavored. I don't think it tastes like strawberries, but it isn't as bad as other brands I've taken.

From Andrea on Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 08:23:58 from 72.37.171.52

No I haven't! I promise I will tonight. I'm going to get some OJ on the way home and just do it. Mine is strawberry flavored as well so maybe it's the same as yours!
