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.

Hit the magic 1 mile mark for walking today, as well as a couple shorter walks throughout the day. I am now able to start light stretching/massage and a couple exercises (partial squats, posterior pelvic tilt, and calf raises). 

This week is dedicated to more and more walking (and backwards walking!), then at 3 weeks I can begin light biking/elliptical/hill walking. Most of the rehabilitation protocols I have read indicate a 6 week time frame before running. That puts me at June 19th - just in time to race in the Sugarhouse Relays! :)

Keep up the good rehab:)

I'm grateful you're on the recovery path. No doubt you'll be flying again in no time. You've been one tough customer through all of this.

Thanks guys!

Scott - it's really hard to think about where I was right before the injury. I was in the best shape of my life. It'll take me at least a year to get even close to that level again. But at the same time, I would love to just go for a nice run with friends again too! I'll be back eventually...I'm only 26, right? Plenty of time!

Good news.

From AngieB on Mon, May 20, 2013 at 18:59:24 from 65.130.91.7

What I would give to be 26 again:) you've got PLENTY of time for sure!

A lot of people at Saucony are pulling for you and want to see you back healthy and racing in Boston next year... BAA 5K sub 17!

I hear you!

The good news is that you get to experience all of the excitement of your body getting stronger and faster again--it really is a miracle. You've got a host of people that are excited to run with you. You'll be stronger and wiser as a result of this trying time.

Victories will come and they will be exciting, but the journey is the real gift. Thank you for being such a great person and an inspiration to all of us.
