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

3.50

A few miles before my gait analysis with the doctor. It turns out that I know more about gait biomechanics than he does, so it was not hugely beneficial. The only thing to note is that I have 10 degrees more hip extension on my left side than right side.

I also got my lab results back...everything was relatively normal except that my ferritin is 24ng/ml. This is significantly lower than the last time I checked and a bit surprising considering my lack of training and taking 100mg of iron almost every day.

You have to drink the blood iron. We can mix it w/ orange juice, pineapple juice... and maybe Malibu?

Did you go to Wasatch? I was going to get my gait analyzed last Saturday but decided I didn't want to pay the $250 when I know my gait is messed up already.

24 is pretty low for an endurance athlete! Mine was 23 last year. Perhaps you are not getting good absorption from the product you are using. Let me know if you want the name of the brand I use.

Ribeye and fried eggs every morning for breakfast.

Red meat!

I love that you knew more about gait analysis than he did :) Hope you find improvement soon.
