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.

I started Phase 2 of my Jay Dicharry Rehab plan yesterday....I'm planning to write a more detailed blog about Phase 1, but I've started to feel (good) changes in the last 2.5 weeks and am optimistic about this approach.

Defining the “dose” of altitude training: how high to live for optimal sea level performance enhancement

These data suggest that, when completing a 4-wk altitude camp following the live high-train low model, there is a target altitude between 2,000 and 2,500 m that produces an optimal acclimatization response for sea level performance.

Lunchtime run with Allie and Devra on the JRP, 6 miles at 7:30 pace. It was windy running south but the resultant tailwind on the way back was pretty nice.

Somehow in the last two weeks I have irritated my pectineus (groin) muscle on my left side (my good side!). I have introduced a lot of new PT/stability/movement exercises recently so hopefully this is just part of the "relearning how to move" process. I'll continue to be cautious and avoid any activity that irritates it more.

Interesting Correlation Graph of Boston marathoners between first and second half splits from Competitor. Looks like the opportunity for going out too fast is pretty high.
