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 - Easy 5 miles with Allie, Jake, Rossy, and Nate. Disappointed in the lack of sun and warmth but good company.

AM - 2.5 miles easy. PM - Upper body weight training and strengthening for 30 minutes. Two miles with Jake.
I'm in the middle of Tyler Hamilton's book The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France. It's a truly captivating story...I can't quite put my fingers around how I feel about it - I am sad for those that were never able to be the best b/c they refused to dope, disappointed in the athletes that got themselves so involved in the drug world, and feel stupid that I was so oblivious and supported the sport during this time. But to get an inside look on it all sheds another light on how obsessive and defensive they became with the drugs. Crazy stuff.

AM - 2.8 miles, found Jake on his cooldown and ran with him.
PM - 3 miles with Jake.
I'm going to a different therapist today that was recommended to me...I'm happy to be running 30 mpw, but I would love to take it up a notch. I'm convinced that I have some muscle movement dysfunctions so we'll see if the new guy can help. I even made a nice table of my injury progression -Â  Â

AM - 3 miles. PM - 3.5 miles, beat Jake on our usual meet-up route from work so ran a little more. Felt little bits of the "old me" running. Very good sign.
New therapist was good...He compared my strength in a lot of the muscles with a force gauge. The strength numbers were good, and I was within 1% comparing one side to the other. I already suspected that, but it was a good confirmation. This is definitely more of a neuromuscular problem with improper firing of muscles during exercise. I'm starting to get a better grasp on all of this and have come up with some of my own re-training exercises that seem to be working. The therapist gave me some additional things to try as well. He talked about doing a gait motion analysis, but I'm hesitant because I'm not convinced that it will give any useful information. I'll have to think about it more..

AM - SLCTC Winter Series 10K. I decided to take this as a moderate run because I'm still trying to work out all my kinks. No warm-up so I started out slow and eventually caught up to Preston after a mile or two. He was aiming for 7-7:15 so I stuck with him for the rest of the race. The race went by much faster with him and I had a good time, despite the brutal conditions on the second half of the race. My hamstring became a little overactive at 4.5 miles but was able to keep it under control with some form adjustments. I'm doing a lot better with the two-a-day shorter runs right now, so I'm planning to stick to those for a while longer. It was great to see so many friends today - good job to everyone that ran! The first LDR Circuit race went very well! :)
