Quality for the Olympic Trials in the marathon 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 - 4th Annual Work triathlon - 3rd place overall.
2 mile Run: 13:42
1 mile Elliptical: 6:56
4 miles Bike: 10:03
I have not worked out this hard in a LONG time! It was quite a shock to the system...I was happy to run around 6:50 pace (a full minute faster than I've run for a year!). The elliptical was definitely my forte - all that skinning up mountains helped me there. Not surprisingly, I was struggling by the end of the bike. I finished with a beet red face and dripping sweat. I really want to win this triathlon next year - let's hope I'm healthy and can make it happen.
PM - Skinned 2000ft with Jake.

| | AM - 6.3 miles in Millcreek with Jake before he left for Vienna, 8:00 pace. Longest run in a really long time, but it felt pretty good. I'm not quite ready for running this far though...

PM - 1.5 miles. Ate really bad and needed something to do. It wasn't the smartest thing to run a double that's okay.

| | AM - PT with Danny. He did manual therapy on some very tight (and painful) abdominal muscles, then we started ladder/plank ladder drills.
PM - 3.5 miles with Jake on the tempo loop, 8:30 pace. Legs felt tired and heavy. Starting from scratch with running is hard and exhausting - even only at 20mpw!

| | I decided to start posting publicly on the blog again. I have been very hesitant to do this for many reasons, but in the end I know it is good for me to capture my progress and how I am feeling on a daily basis (for some reason I cannot be consistent with writing down this information on an excel spreadsheet).
Just to give a brief summary of the last 8 months or so...I had a second surgery for my chronic groin pain back on September 10, 2015. I can now confidently say that the surgery was worth it and has relieved much of the chronic groin pain. Here is a 3-6 week post-surgery update and a 4th month post-surgery update. I really need to make another update post of 4-8 months...it's on my list! Basically, I spent the first 3 months walking, biking, and laying on the floor a lot. The next 3 months I was able to spend a lot of time in the mountains and get some great exercise through backcountry skiing. And these past 2 months I have finally started to run again. I am currently running ~20mpw and loving every second of it. I still have some pain, but it is getting less. My body is still learning how to move correctly again after 2.5 years of compensation, and this process will likely take quite a bit longer.
This has been and continues to be a very long recovery. I honestly don't know if I'll ever be completely without pain or be able to train and race competitively again, but I am now at a point where I can be happy again. And that's a really big deal! I can enjoy the things I am passionate about - running, skiing, hiking, and essentially everything else relating to being active in the outdoors. The biggest struggle I am having right now is too much motivation :)
AM - Strength training class for 50 minutes.
PM - Glad that Alta closed and we can finally use the terrain for skinning. 1800ft this evening, and the turns were perfectly slushy.
