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 - 9 miles around Millcreek, 8:20 pace. My legs still have some residual fatigue in them but should be ready for a workout by tomorrow. 

PM - 2.8 miles. Felt exhausted. I had physical therapy this afternoon and it was NOT FUN. The PT used this knife-like device (but not sharp) and rolled it across my tendon really hard. It was so painful! He said it was to get the knots out and encourage the right healing (and should make it feel better in a day or so), but I was definitely not a happy camper during the process. It still hurts. My tendon better feel peachy in a couple days!!

Regarding the track 5K - there are basically 3 options and we just want to make it a vote... we can do it any of the upcoming 3 Saturdays...

1. Oct 29th (but it would have to be in the afternoon)
2. Nov 5th
3. Nov 12th (this day we actually are planning to do a 5K time trial anyways, but I hate to schedule something at the same time as Jun's trail run)

So either vote by commenting or sending me (or Jake) an email, and we'll try to have a concrete date by the middle of this week.

well, being completely selfish, I would vote for the 5th. I have the Halloween half on the 29th (and won't be able to think about running a 5K after the beating my quads will take on that downhill, I mean, I could do it - but you wouldn't want to wait around that long). and I am going to be at Richmond, VA running the full on the 12th (when Jun told me about his run I was SO bummed!) So, that is my vote - purely for selfish reasons and none others :)

Nice job on the miles this morning, hitting 9 on a Monday after a long tempo isn't always easy, but helps that soreness out in the long run (haha, no pun intended).

You found a PT you like and trust? That's the good kind of pain - astym. I miss it.
