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.

| | Crazy travel day. 17 hours worth of flying went okay, but the finding my co-worker at the airport proved to be quite the challenge. Two hours later we finally found each other and the driver then took the two hour journey to Juiz de Fora from Rio. This is probably the curviest road I've ever been on and I got pretty car sick. I was totally wiped by the time I finally got into the hotel. I managed 30 minutes on the spin bike. My psoas and hamstring have been cramping up every couple hours for the last two days and the medial side of my knee has decided to start hurting all the time. Not sure what happened to cause this, but it's not a good idea to run on it. The bike seems to be okay, so I might stick to that until the knee pain resolves. |

Brazil Day 2. It's HOT! Apparently it was Daylight Savings Time last night so I was ready to go with an hour to spare. Rode on the bike for 30 minutes. The open gym is probably 80 degrees - I was drenched in sweat with my heart rate only at probably 120 bpm. PM - 30 minutes on the bike. |

AM - Brazil Day 3. 30 minutes on the bike. Woke up with a dehydration headache - need to drink more. Only drinking bottled water makes staying hydrated a little more difficult here.
PM - 20 minutes of drills then 10 minutes of weights/strengthening. |

AM - Brazil Day 4. 20 minutes of forward and backward walking then 10 minutes of drills. I'm sore from drills yesterday! There is a nice balcony outside where I can do the drills so that's nice. PM - 30 minutes of cycling. |

| | AM - Brazil Day 5. About four miles running around blocks in downtown Juiz de Fora with my coworker. It felt SO good to run! Not ideal running area, lots of dodging and people and really bad smells. My knee became more noticeable as the run went on so I still need to be careful until this resolves. |

AM - BEAUTIFUL hike in Petropolis, Brazil called Morro do AƧu. The pictures just don't capture how truly beautiful the area is. 360 degrees of rainforest mountains and unbelievable terrain. The hike is anywhere from 13-18 miles with 3000-4000 ft of elevation gain, depending on which site you look at (obviously exact numbers are not important in Brazil). My boss and I were so fast hiking up that we lost the guide on several occasions and had to wait for him :) I'm pretty sure my boss was trying to show that he was in just as good of shape as me which was ridiculous because I have 7 months worth of pent up energy. I let him feel proud of himself though (he is my boss, after all). Anyway, we spent some time at the top enjoying the views then headed back down. About 1.5 miles from the finish, a huge thunderstorm came through and it POURED. All part of the adventure - it is a rainforest, after all! It was probably my favorite part of the hike - running down the trail with the rain loving every second. We saw a frog the size of a football too! Great day, I'm so happy I was able to do this. Maybe I should stick with hiking for a while?
