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

AM - Seriously - 20 degrees and raining?! Ran 2.5 miles. Injury feels better today (whew!) but probably needs another day. The short two-a-days make me feel the best so I'm going to be doing a lot more of those for a while. Plus, as Bam pointed out, splitting up the runs is easier on my tendons and ligaments as I'm increasing mileage.

The drive in to work was terrible - 28 cars on the side of the road on 6 miles of highway. Extremely icy and scary conditions. Be careful!

PM - 2.6 miles with Jake on the tempo loop.

for real -- what kind of weather is this? the rain was immediately turning to ice on my windshield and i couldn't see anything. i just closed my eyes and magically i made it to work.

glad you made it in safely, and glad

you are feeling better today.

The jeep CRUSHED those roads this morning. Not sure how. It steps up when it matters!

Glad you're feeling better. Must be the sub-zero ice machine. Eek with the acid ice. I really wanted to make it to Ming's today :)

Ditto Allie :)

Good to see that you're listening to Bam the polymath:) I should take my own advice: first run back was a 6 when I planned a 4. Be careful out there on that ice.

Very smart approach to your training.

Glad you were able to make the commute alright. Took me an extra hour today due to the freezing rain.

Jake, that's what Jeeps are all about!

Andrea, good to see you able to get a little more in - hope the doubles work good for you.
