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 - Ran 5K straight!! No backwards running, walking, or other silly stuff :)

Went to the doctor that did the steroid injections into my spine this morning...as you've probably seen on the news, there has been a huge outbreak recently of meningitis due to tainted steroid injections. My doctor told me that the injection I received was from the company that had these tainted injections but it was not the same drug. Still, I should go to the emergency room immediately if I have any symptoms. Scary!

Good luck everyone on races this weekend!

Yes! Things seem to be moving forward now for you. Really hope the worst is behind you.

I'm glad to see you are making progress! Let me know how the steroid works for you. I've been wondering if that's the next step for my little nagging injury.
