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

4.50

AM - Ran 3.5 miles with Jake for his warm-up, took a break for a few minutes b/c my psoas and hamstring cramped up, then ran the rest of the way home for 4.5 miles total. Not feeling great this past week...lots of new aches and pains. So I'm planning to take the next two weeks in Brazil easy and maybe do other cross training.

Afterwards we had a few friends over for breakfast - just what I needed before leaving! :)

thanks for all the great food.

have a good trip and see you in two weeks -- by that time the marathons will be over and we will have an extra 2-3 hours to spend on brunching and stretching.

I guess the only thing you haven't tried is some type of mythical-legend-which magic stuff. Maybe Brazil has a some sort of healing pond to immerse your body into. Actually, my dad is convinced a skin disease(that he had for 40 years) was cured by a river in Asia. It never did return. Ha! Whatever works, right?
