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 officially have an appointment with Dr. Byrd in Nashville on April 29th. I had to make quite a few phone calls and emails, but I finally got an appointment with him within a reasonable amount of time. He is considered one of the best hip doctors in the nation, so I have high hopes the he can at least give me a diagnosis and direction. The day will consist of an evaluation with him, new MRI, discuss the MRI and options with him, and physical therapy. That weekend is also the Country Music Half + Full Marathon, Jimmy Buffet concert, and I'll get to see my family. So it'll be good no matter what happens with the doctor!

I did talk to Dr. Eric Smith today (top diagnostic radiologist) who was willing to look at my current images because a friend called in a favor on my behalf. He talked to me for about 15 minutes and basically said that everything looked good, if not great. My hip joint looked good - no signs of damage in the labrum, cartilage, surrounding tissue. No indications of nerve entrapments or abdominal tears, no damage on the iliopsoas tendon, no signs of any type of hernia. So good news, bad news. It doesn't seem like I have any damage, but it's all still a mystery. The huge caveat is that these images were taken in September and it's now April. Has something changed? I guess the new MRI with Dr. Byrd might give me that answer.

What a crazy mess! Does anyone have magic healing potion?!

For those that are running and want to get faster - start doing uphill sprints!! 2% improvement in a 5K over 6 weeks based on this study.
