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 - 30 minutes cycling.

PM - Afternoon stroll with the marathon extraordinaires...even their walking strides were far superior.

I thought this was interesting...I might have to start incorporating the Toddler Squat into my routine - My Favorite Mobility / Corrective Exercise - The Toddler Squat.

AM - Went to the gym with Jake. We did 20 minutes on the stairmaster then ran outside for 10 minutes or so. We weren't planning to run at all, but he was making me so nervous on the stairmaster that running actually seemed like a better idea.

Annual Work Triathlon!

Unfortunately, I was unable to "race" this year due to my injuries, but I figured if I could make it through the entire 2 mile run, 1 mile elliptical, 4 mile recumbent bike then it would be a success. I was pleasantly surprised that I had minimal-to-no pain! Finished in 42 minutes - about 9 minutes over what I did last year but that's okay. I did the run in 14 minutes with 1.5 miles at 6:35 pace and it felt like a jog, so that makes me happy. 

I have found an exercise that I have been doing the last three days, and my gluteus medius pain has almost completely subsided. It's called quadruped rocking:
