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.

What a fantastic afternoon of powder skiing! I was able to skin ~2500ft today which is a marked improvement from several weeks ago. We skinned up Flagstaff Mountain, skied into Days Fork, skinned back up then down to the car. It's hard to beat the views of snow-covered mountains and blue skies.

AM - 30 minutes on the bike. 

PM - 30 minutes of strength training + new adductor strengthening plan.

So I went to Dr. Kirk last Friday as well as Dr. Cosgrave (as part of Comprehensive Orthopedics + Sports Medicine). Both did a thorough evaluation and could find nothing structurally or mechanically that stood out. We talked in detail about a new plan of action and decided - try another steroid pack, new physical therapist with focus on adductor and surgical sites, blood work, and evaluation of running mechanics to be done this Friday. I feel like this -

A few miles before my gait analysis with the doctor. It turns out that I know more about gait biomechanics than he does, so it was not hugely beneficial. The only thing to note is that I have 10 degrees more hip extension on my left side than right side.

I also got my lab results back...everything was relatively normal except that my ferritin is 24ng/ml. This is significantly lower than the last time I checked and a bit surprising considering my lack of training and taking 100mg of iron almost every day.
