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.

Got to Shanghai at 12am, couldn't sleep so I did some cross training cardio - 10 min rowing, 10 min stair stepper, 10 min upright bike, then tried out all the machines in the gym. 

I have really struggled on my trips to China with the treadmill running - the treadmill seems to flare up my abdomen and hip problems and make me feel bad. So I'm going to try not to run this week and focus more on other forms of exercise. Probably good to take a break anyway.

ABT - Anything But Treadmill!!!

Are the gym machines in China also robots?

That is dope! You can read the newspaper on it and still get a workout.

If its OK with you, I'm going to buy one for the Smoores on Amazon Prime right now.
