Quality for the Olympic Trials in the marathon 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 - 4.4 miles easy horsepark loop. It was COLD this morning! Did a few strides in the middle to get the legs moving faster. Sickness is pretty much over - should be 100% by tomorrow. Been thinking about how to get Allie to break 18 this spring...and me for that matter! PM - 4 miles, felt like I needed to run more to make up for eating too much today.

AM - 4 miles on the elliptical (about 40 minutes). PM - Ran in the neighborhoods around Sugarhouse 5.7 miles. Felt so much better this afternoon - I did a 20 min massage on my butt/back area using the medicine ball and seems to have helped a ton. Going to try to do this every day.
If interested in the Olympic Trials, here's a Road to Houston Recap including interviews with some of the athletes and predictions.

AM - Spin class 50 minutes. Good workout. PM - 6.1 miles. Met Jake up at Wasatch Blvd to run. Lookin' good for long run destination on Saturday.
I have a new plan for the next 5 weeks (until I go see Dr. John Ball in AZ). My goal is to get a strong base but also try to get my back feeling better. Monday - 7-9 miles, strength training
Tuesday - Spin class, 4-6 miles
Wednesday - JAJA run 9-12 miles, strength training
Thursday - Spin class, 4-6 miles
Friday - 5-7 miles
Saturday - Long run 14-17 miles
Sunday - Cross training (hopefully skiing!), possible short run
This should put me at about 50 miles each week. So, I will still get some endurance (one long run and one medium-long run) and be able to work on speed (using spin class for this as well as doing fartlek runs once a week). Every day at lunch I will do 20 minutes of massage/stretching and work on core/hip strengthening. Probably the most important thing for me is to make sure my back is loose before I run, meaning that I need to devote a little more time to getting ready.

AM - AJA Run - no James today. We had a nice run, ran a little quicker for the last 5 miles. FYI - if anyone ever wants to join us on Wednesday mornings, we meet at Highland High at 6:15am. PM - Strength training arms 20 minutes. Tried to go longer, but my arms were too tired!
Long run this Saturday, I have drawn up a pretty good 14 mile loop route starting at Tanner Park at 8am that would get us out of the worst of the haze. Would love to go out for breakfast (Mill Creek Cafe or CJ's) in an attempt to stay away from the computer and find the results of the Olympic Trials before they show it on TV. Anyone is welcome to come watch the OT with Jake and me at our place afterwards as well.

AM - I was going to do spin class this morning, but it's so hard to say no to running when I'll have a buddy. Met up with Devra for a hilly run, 8.6 miles at 7:40 pace. SOOO COOLLLDDD! I'm finally starting to get warm after a hot shower and now with my down jacket, scarf, heat pack on my back, personal heater on in my office, and coffee.
PM - Boot camp class 30 min. Planks, lunges, jump rope, mountain climbers, pushups, arms, etc.

| | AM - Group run with Jake, Allie, Emily J, Rob, Fritz, Bryan, Cam, Dan, Matt, Scott, Steve, and Adam. Big crew this morning and so much fun! I can't "technically" say I ran with everyone...it's hard to make the rounds with so many people, which is why everyone needs to come again next time! The girls split off around mile 7 to make the run shorter and have some fun girl talk about weddings and such (without James/Jake interruptions). We ran a pretty quick 7:10 pace with some good hills. Great way to start the morning! OLYMPIC TRIALS DAY!!!! Can't wait to see it on TV.
