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 - 35 minutes of walking, stairs, and step-ups. Check out my pictures from the last two days! I had such a great weekend...a much needed break from the stresses of work here. I'm a little achy today from all the hiking but nothing much worse than usual. My hip flexor didn't hurt at all - surprising considering all the uphill travel we did. Hamstring and glute the most bothersome but managed quite well. It was hard to find food so I made it through with a jar of Nutella and some crackers - really brought back good memories from backpacking. Jake - I need more mountain adventures! I hope it's warm in Utah by the time I get back :)

PM - 30 minutes of stairs, step-ups, and a little walking.

Those pictures are awesome. Maybe as a bonus, you strengthened some of those tendons and muscles too.

Beautiful pictures! You look sunny and happy in your shorts. One day that will come for all of us here... :-)

Its amazing that you can't find food to eat there!

Eating a jar of nutella does remind me of the good old days... we need to do more of that this year!!

It sounds like your trip is a blast! I'm so jealous of the hiking and great excuse to pound the Nutella. :) Great cross training work!
