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 - Long run at Jeremy Ranch with Jake, Fritz, Scott, Dan, Justin, Devra, and Annie. It was quite refreshing and fun to run with people that I don't ever get to run with! The run went by so quickly, and this is the best aerobically I have ever felt at Jeremy Ranch. I even threw in a 6:15 mile towards the end. I just wish that my body would cooperate! Hamstrings felt strained throughout the run...I'm going to have to do something different. I'm thinking 2-4 weeks of low mileage with focus on massage and strengthening. I'm in good shape right now - I can maintain that and come back ready to roll if I do this right.

Nice run. Sounds like a missed a good time. Sorry about the hammies. But a couple weeks of massage doesn't sound so bad :)

Dang that hamstring!! You are being so smart though, and you will come back ready to roll for sure!

Sounds like a fun Saturday run! Thanks for inviting me! I will get together with you one of these days for a run!! We took off to Provo for the weekend.

Sounds like a fun morning. You are making a very smart call on the hamstring and I really think that two weeks of lower mileage will payoff.

So are you waking up at 4am tomorrow to watch the marathon live?

boo. injuries stink! However, getting through a 6:15 with a screaming hammy is just awesome to me. Glad you had a great run and that the aerobic base is strong. I know you'll pull through just a couple lower weeks - easy.
