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 - Scheduled day off from running. Walked on the treadmill at 3% incline for 25 minutes while reading Alberto Salazar's book 14 Minutes. Really liked this statement:

"...but a runner of any caliber almost never outlives the need to run. Once you get hooked - once the day comes when you suffer more by not running than by running - you're stuck with it. Your daily run becomes your solace and your refuge, the place you go to reflect, heal, and pray." 

PM - Weight training for 35 minutes. Then ran 0.8 miles on the treadmill during PT. Haven't been to PT in a month or so (b/c I did diagnostic imaging and such). I told him that the traditional strengthening exercises just weren't working. So he put me through a painful session of ASTYM - a soft tissue therapy. He scraped from the toes up to the hip and said we would know if this helps after 2-4 treatments. If nothing else, it will get rid of a lot of scar tissue!

That statement basically sums up exactly how I feel about running.

I shadowed a PT, and there were many patients that swore by ASTYM, they said it works wonders. I hope it helps you out.

I hope the ASTYM works!! That is a brutal treatment, especially from toe to hip! Don't be surprised if you are really sore from it! And may even have some bruises.

That is a great quote! I now have to read that book.

It really works. This is what Josse has been doing on me once a week and it has made a huge difference. But sometimes the progress comes slowly so stick with it for at least a month if you can. :)
