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 - 3.7 miles, met up with Jake halfway through the run.

PM - 3 miles. Got a tan!

I am headed to Bend, OR this evening to see Jay Dicharry of REP Oregon tomorrow morning. He was recommended to me by the Saucony lab, and I like his fundamental approach in the book Anatomy for Runners. In his email exchange with me, he wrote -

"I'm not going to sugarcoat this, pubalgia rehab can be complex. It takes very targeted rehab in very specific movement patterns. I've seen a lot of success in people who have taken proper time and energy, but it comes a bit more slowly, as these structures are under such great load."

This gives me more confidence in him because this rehab is very complicated. I have spent ~10 hours a week the past year learning about this injury, rehab, movement patterns, gait analysis, etc and am tired of seeing therapists that know less than I do in a subject that I am a novice. I hope that this trip will be worthwhile, but it's a chance that I'm willing to take. He will spend 2-3 hours with me to try to identify the incorrect movement patterns and set me up with a program to follow.
