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.

See pics from Saturday here. Today was a shorter hike near Petropolis, Brazil again. I actually have no idea what the mountain was called, but it was about 7km in length and had great views to the city of Petropolis and Rio de Janeiro. Another fun day of being outside!

AM - 35 minutes of walking, stairs, and step-ups. Check out my pictures from the last two days! I had such a great weekend...a much needed break from the stresses of work here. I'm a little achy today from all the hiking but nothing much worse than usual. My hip flexor didn't hurt at all - surprising considering all the uphill travel we did. Hamstring and glute the most bothersome but managed quite well. It was hard to find food so I made it through with a jar of Nutella and some crackers - really brought back good memories from backpacking. Jake - I need more mountain adventures! I hope it's warm in Utah by the time I get back :)

PM - 30 minutes of stairs, step-ups, and a little walking.

AM - 30 minutes of cycling. Two more days then heading to Phoenix! After all this, I'm going to be so tan compared to you poor winter folks :)

PM - 30 minutes or lots of random exercises - stair climbing, dancing, jumping, wall sits, punching, sit ups, push ups, etc. Just trying to keep things interesting.

AM - 10 minutes on the bike then 20 minutes of drills and strides. Afterwards I accidently used menthol creme (like IcyHot) as lotion instead of actual lotion ...not a good idea. An hour of intense burning cold sensation later, I felt almost normal. My coworkers thought I was nuts going outside in 80 degrees with a jacket and sweatshirt on! 

I'm flying back to the states tonight!!

AM - Jake's marathon fueling crew. His dad and I were able to see him 8 times throughout the race to give him bottles of Gatorade and cold wet sponges. I was so anxious and nervous for him throughout the race that I completely wore myself out. I managed to get sick yesterday with my 26 hours of traveling and little sleep so that contributed as well. I saw him one last time at 25.5 and then watch him break the 2nd place guy. Really awesome and a total relief to see that. So proud of him! 

Also huge congrats to everyone else out there racing today! Some PRs went down today :) 

PM - 20 min jog in Phoenix.
