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

5.30

AM - 5.3 miles with Fritz, Allie, James, Jake, Adam, and Adam. Cold but pleasant run with friends. I have tight hamstrings but that's about the only residual effect from yesterday. Making progress.

Plan for the next few weeks is to stay around 25 - 35 miles and start the routine of one tempo, one speed, and one long run. Very modified, meaning the the tempo will be 1-3 miles at marathon effort, the speed will be 100m strides and drills, and long run will be in the 6-8 mile range. Everything must be pain-free. Small doses for now to retrain the muscles to work appropriately and efficiently.

What Joe and Matt said + 1. It'll be great to see you back in full swing...

Great to see you moving forward. Small steps... but better than going backwards.

That sounds like a great plan to get things rolling.

It's great to see that the new year has you running again! Fantastic!
