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.

30 minutes on the elliptical (10/10). I actually seem to feel pretty good on the elliptical...I can control my pelvis and knee movement a lot more. I have found that my adductor muscle tires out very quickly (like within 5 minutes) so I'm wondering if that is my weakest link.

If you're looking for some good running reads - I've read most of these and have learned a lot from them.

30 minutes on the elliptical (10/8). I am going to Dr. Stephen Kirk this afternoon to get a fresh opinion on my injury problems and get some blood work done.

So glad it's the weekend! It's felt like a long week.

45 minutes of elliptical/stairmaster combo then 30 minutes of strength training.

Sleeping is the best.
