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 - 10 mile bike ride with Jake then I went out for a run by myself. Ran 5 miles at 8:20 pace around the Millcreek. Probably my best feeling run so far, at least until 4.5 miles when my abdominals cramped..still working through that. 

It has now been 1 YEAR since I got injured. My blog from a year ago today was the 15 mile run at Jeremy Ranch that destroyed me...it was also the best shape I had ever been. Sad to think about everything I have missed in the past year, but I am so thankful to be running again. I actually seem to feel better on the days that I run and think it has something to do with neuromuscular retraining. I'm finally on the verge of a breakthrough with this injury.

PM - 5 miles on the bike with Jake.

1 year is definitely a while! Although when you step back and look at a lifetime of running, 1 year is a pretty short period of time. Easy for me to say, I would've probably gone crazy, but all your research and persistence has you in a good spot to have a super fast 2014.

Joe, I sure hope that a year from today I think of this as just a distant memory and I'm seriously thinking about going after that 2:43 marathon OTQ.

I am so thankful for all the support I have gotten...there has been a lot of complaining on this blog and I'm very lucky to have so many support me and not let me give up on finding answers.

I like the sound of that--"verge of a breakthrough"--that has a good solid ring to it, and that kind of feeling is usually right! I hope you are hot on the tail of that otq in 2014 too!
