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.

Good progress today, definitely my best day yet. I did the same amount of walking but was up on my feet and moving around a lot more. Whenever the pain started, I was able to lay down and get it back under control within 30 minutes. The sneezing gods were against me today, though...I probably sneezed 10 times and it still does not feel good to do that!

I once had a hernia repaired and my sister sent me this homemade get well card that was hilarious. I was laughing so hard and it hurt so bad! I hated her for that.

Yes, I have learned never to invite Kevin over shortly after abdominal surgery!

So glad you are climbing upwards! You are smart to lay down and rest frequently. Doing too much too soon was always my downfall. Hooray for healing!
