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.

Well, I figured that I should put up an update. Unfortunately my hip is not doing well. I've restricted my activities to a mere 30 minute leisure bike ride every day and one ski day a week. No walking, no running, no other activities from the core down. It's very frustrating and it seems like surgery is becoming a real possibility.

I have contacted the top hip doctors in the nation that accept my insurance and currently have appointments in NY, CA, IL, and almost TN. I am waiting on a couple more doctors to get back to me, and my plan is to go to the doctor that has an opening the soonest. Right now I'm at April 30 just for an appointment (then another 4-6 weeks of waiting if surgery is recommended). This is so frustrating because I might be in the same situation for another 2-3 months. Obviously I'm calling most days to see if anything has opened up and trying to play every card in the books. We'll see...I know two months doesn't seem like a long time, but it seems like forever when you've already been hurt for 8 months and only need 20 minutes with one of these doctors. I will be so relieved when this is all over!
