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.

20 minutes of slow running with Jake.

My running plan the next couple weeks is 2 days on, 1 day off - morning run, afternoon run, off, repeat. I'm really hoping to be able to get up to 4 miles by the end of the month. Progress is slowwww.

Progress is slow but the moment you feel it back and probably better than ever will be so sick !

I imagine there will be a time though when the progress speeds up and your fitness will be back in no time, you are wise to take it easy and wait for the right time!

I see encouraging things when I switch to graph view from several weeks (and months) ago. Bam would sign off on your plan to introduce doubles sooner rather than later and progressing incrementally. And, hey, you're young; plenty of time to get fast and conquer the world :) (I know, I know, it's frustrating; I'm trying to keep things light here!)
