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.

4 MILES!!!

My longest run in 5 months! I felt really great today which was surprising considering the last couple days. There must be something special about the new Saucony Ride 7s that I tested out for Jake today :) Those shoes are awesome.

I also just added a new psoas inhibition exercise to my PT that I found in a research article and I think it's helping.

The patient lies supine in hook lying and is instructed to dorsiflex at the ankle and push through their quadriceps as if to gently slide up the mat. The challenge is to contract the quadriceps without activating the hamstrings. If done correctly, the tibialis anterior and quadriceps are activated, while the hamstrings and psoas are inhibited.

PM - 4 miles on the bike with Jake.

I just read my Lavender Days report from exactly one year ago from today. Best quote of the report - "I did have some awkwardness in my groin, but hopefully that's just a fluke."
