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.

Cross training today...feeling a little beat up from the week. Went skiing for a few hours - 2700 ft of skinning, nice slush ski down. Afternoon went for a 50 min bike ride with Jake after convincing him that he didn't need to run any more than 135 miles this week. THAT was a battle!

Morning - 4.5 mile horsepark loop, slow. Still haven't gotten over the fatigue from last week. Hopefully one more easy day will get my legs back under me! 

Afternoon - 5 miles easy. Bike ride 13.1 miles to pace Jake on his (impressive) tempo run!

Morning - Horsepark loop easy 4.5 miles. Workout this afternoon.

 Afternoon - RAIN! Forced myself to do 6x800m at 10k (5:55) pace with 200m recovery jog in between reps. Character building weather, for sure!

Morning - 43 degrees and raining = treadmill for 4 miles. Afternoon - 4.3 miles up 1500 and around Sugarhouse. 

I thought this article was interesting: Pre-race day carbohydrate intake can significantly and independently influence marathon running performance - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21590642

Morning - Didn't sleep well last night with the storm and my back hurting. Lightly raining outside, so I went for a solid 9.25 mile run (7:20 min/mile). My lower back was tightening up throughout the run - I need to make sure to do the exercises before I go running too. I'm excited to go to Zion this weekend and actually have some nice weather. I miss TN spring!  

 PM - Short 16 minute run in St. George.

AM - Ran trails in St. George. It felt great to run something different, especially in the sunshine! 

 PM - Hiked about 5.5 miles around Snow Canyon State Park. I would highly recommend trail running or biking there. It was a great day.
