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.

Short walk this morning with Jake. My deep glutes are worrying me more than the incision area - I really think they are overstimulated from the months of compensation. I need to find ways to inhibit those muscles.

PM - Jake got tons of prototype Saucony shoes today and I couldn't resist but to try them out. I was able to shuffle run for about 15 seconds in three different pairs of shoes! Then PT and lots of ice.

Interesting article about the relationship of altitude and obesity. I thought these illustrations were pretty cool -

My house is 13 feet above sea level, so...yikes.

I am only about 1000 feet above sea level, and I'm pretty sure half the city is obese.

OK that was really interesting. For the glutes you might try planks (heels and shoulders on the floor, butt 3 inches in the air) for 60 seconds, then total relaxation, just to help them remember what turning off feels like. Only if the surgery recovery plan supports it of course.

Dave - thanks for the suggestion. I think I'm allowed to do planks starting in two days so I'll try that!
