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 - Turnover workout. 4 x 0.25 mi on 2.5% downhill around 6:10 pace. My legs have completely forgotten how to move faster. I could feel quite a few imbalances that I don't feel when running slower, so that's a good reminder to keep up my therapy. Overall 5 miles, 8:00 pace.

BD 5K (3.07 mi) (3.107 Miles) 00:20:34 | | 4th Annual BD 5K. This was a good test to see 1) if my body could handle running at a hard effort, and 2) what shape I'm in. I have only been running for 3 months after a year off from running and surgery 9 months ago. It's been a very long, slow recovery but I'm taking it one day at a time. Anyway, my aim was 7:15 pace - this is a hard 5K course (two loops with 90ft hill), it was hot, and I have not run a single mile under 7:30.
I started out at what felt like a reasonable pace- the first mile is downhill and was 6:35. Ran up the hill feeling strong and splashed some water on myself at the halfway. Back downhill and hit the second mile at 6:50. Breathing got really heavy up the hill again but kept the pace consistent and mile 3 was 6:50. The course was probably 10 seconds short.
I was very happy with how I felt running. I had no abdominal or adductor pain at all. My heels hurt a little at the end, but no more than usual. I'm not in good enough shape to get that true 5k-hurts like h*ll feeling but I'm okay with that for now :)
This gave me a tiny glimpse of hope that I may be able to run fast again and compete. That's thinking really far ahead, but it is nice to have that hope back. For now, I'll keep trying to increase my miles slowly and get out in the mountains as much as possible!

| | AM - Jake and I woke up early and headed to the Uintas, hoping that there would be something left to ski. No luck there, so we decided to hike to the top of Bald Mountain instead. It's a nice short 4 mile, 1200ft hike with views and a tiny bit of snow left to glissade.
PM - Biked the Armstrong - HAM - Spiro loop in Park City, ~1000ft of vertical. I was pleasantly surprised with how nice the trail was, but it was still quite a challenge to keep with with Jake while he was running. My mountain biking skills need some work!

| | AM - Ran an out-and-back on the Mid Mountain Trail in Park City with Jake, 7 miles. I love this trail and hope to run it a bunch of times this summer/fall, gradually getting closer to the full 22 miles. This is my longest run in 17 months so that makes me really happy :)
Just miles and miles of this -
PM - Biked to Sprouts for food and back, 6 miles.

| | Ran an out-and-back on the Pipeline Trail in Millcreek Canyon with Jake. We are hoping to start doing this run once a week for the summer/fall as it is close to home. We ran 7 miles around 8:45 pace - my right leg started feeling really tired after about 5 miles so it was probably a little too soon from Sunday's run but overall a good run.

RAGNAR Wasatch Back Relay (194 miles) (194 Miles) 30:05:11, Place in age division: 48 | | My first Ragnar. Overall I had a great time and felt like our van dynamic was awesome. I would say we had the "luxury" experience, as we got to relax in homes in between legs and had a 15 passenger van. I can see how this event could be really fun or really miserable, so I'm glad we got the good end of the bargain :)
Friday 6pm Leg 8 - 7.1 flat miles around Pineview Reservoir in Huntsville, Utah at 7:13 pace. SO HOT. This run pushed my current limits of distance, speed, and heat. I really enjoyed the challenge and was so happy to be limited by fitness instead of structural problems. I got quite overheated by the end of the run despite pouring several bottles of cold water on me. This photo is at about mile 6 at the peak of my water desperation -
Saturday 4am Leg 19 - Early, cold, and dark 4 miles on a very gradual uphill +1% (7:30 pace) in Coalville. The majority of this run was on a dirt rail trail which made the footing uneasy with only a headlamp.
Saturday 2pm Leg 33 - 4.3 miles, first 3 at -10% falling off a cliff (6:20 pace), then flat to the end (7:30 pace). The downhill was way too steep to enjoy at all. Hot run at 92 degrees again so I was pretty overheated by the end.
