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 - 3 miles with Jake, really pleasant weather.

PM - 30 minutes of strength training. Not feeling very good today...have some pelvic symphysis and IT band pain. I've had adductor and groin pain regularly but haven't had these other symptoms in a while.

Proof That Crash Training Doesn't Work:

"In the study, when runners did 24 hard workouts over an eight-week period, their fitness improved throughout, and they peaked with a 10% increase in VO2 max, a measure of aerobic capacity. In contrast, when runners did the same 24 hard workouts in a three-week period, their fitness declined during the training block, and improved only after almost two weeks of no running."

AM - 3.3 miles, a little with Jake. 

My hometown of Knoxville, TN got 8" of snow last night - the most since the "Blizzard of '93". There is soo much excitement for snow there...wish I was home right now! If only people were as happy when it was snowing here :)
