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 - Weather conditions were not good to do our 4-3-2-1 tempo workout this morning. 2 mile shakeout.

PM - Afternoon conditions turned out to be much better than expected for the workout. Temperatures were about the same as expected for the marathon in two weeks (40 degrees). I'm really glad we decided to wait until the afternoon when the snow had melted off the road. I wish that Adam and Devra still could've joined us, but there will be plenty more runs in the future :) Emily Bates did the workout with me.

We went out to the Frontage Road by I-80W again. There was a due west headwind about 10 mph. After a mile warmup:

Headwind 4 miles  6:17 pace. 0.5 mile jog.
Tailwind 3 miles.  Felt so much easier!! 6:14 pace. 0.5 mile jog.
Mix 2 miles. 6:03 pace. 0.5 mile jog.
Mix 1 mile. 5:37 pace.

3 mile cooldown to end it. I feel great about this workout. I can feel that I have a little more in my legs with the 15 mile drop in mileage this week. Only one hard workout left!

Marathon training is tough! 10.5 hours is quite a bit - almost embarrassing!

LOL! I love it! I went to bed at 12:30 and woke up at 7:15. Marathon training makes one TIRED! I know all about it. Speaking of, is it the 18th when you run? I am soo sooo excited for you!

getting excited for you too!! :D one more hard work out is a nice feeling!! YOU MADE IT. The race is SUPPOSED to be the easy part right? if you don't over train--- and YOU CERTAINLY DID NOT --you were very smart in your training. Must be your best buddie at your side :D.

I'm really happy you waited. That is an awesome workout. Especially that closing mile. Hopefully next time I can join you.
