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.

Total Distance

4.00

4 miles on the tempo loop, 7:45 pace. My legs were happy to not run the TN hills!

I went to the physical therapist today. As he was looking me over, he noticed that my left leg is significantly bigger than my right leg (this is new in the last 2 months). I hadn't really looked but now it is obvious - sure enough, when he did the strength evaluation the left leg is much stronger. I'm obviously favoring that right leg still. I also had significant weakness of the adductor muscle that I had surgery on but that was expected. Getting my psoas to work correctly is #1 priority still. New/adjusted plan:

- Psoas inhibition
- Psoas activate then heel slide
- Step downs (2x more on right side)
- Lateral step up/step down
- Clam shells
- Hip abduction (while laying and side step monster walks)
- Hip adduction
- Glute activations

Cuz TN hills are so much bigger than Utah hills?!?

The problem with the TN hills (where my parents live) is that they are unavoidable. I don't mind the uphill, but the downhills don't feel good. Wondering if I really should have signed up for Alta Peruvian...
