Quality for the Olympic Trials in the marathon 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.

| | After a very late night of bachelorette fun, I woke up and saw 7:45am on my watch. I decided that I could sleep a little later b/c the rest of the girls wouldn't wake up until 11am or so. Woke up again at 9am, got ready, then realized my watch was still on Mountain Time and it was already 11am. Dang! I didn't want to hold the group up on doing fun things, so I cut the run from 2 hours to 95 minutes (good thing I can get ready in about 5 minutes). For some reason my ipod didn't charge last night, so I was running with no music in the heat of the day :(. I had to stash a water bottle and carry a washcloth - just like the ol' days living in TN. But I got in 13 miles with the last 1.5 miles at 6:15 pace. |

| | AM - 4 miles in the rain - fun and refreshing before a long drive back to Tennessee. PM - 4.1 miles back in the rolling hills of TN. Good to be back home...haven't seen my family since Christmas so I'm excited to be here all week!

AM - Morning workout, another "see how I feel" one. I drove to the least hilly area that is close by to home. By the time I got going, it was already pretty hot and humid - reminded me a lot of Boston. Warm-up of 2 miles then -
4 mile tempo at 6:22 pace, 0.5 jog
2 x 0.5 mile at 5:54 pace, equal recovery
2 x 0.25 mile at 5:45 pace, equal recovery
2 x .125 mile at 5:45 pace, equal recovery Not a stellar workout, but 5.75 miles of faster running. My effort level was much higher than the paces I was running. Will try to get up earlier on Thursday and get in a faster workout. I need to work on my turnover if I want to try to break 17 minutes in ten days at PTF! PM - 3.1 miles once the sun went down. Really pleasant and relaxing run.

| | AM - Medium-long run, out and back on the bike path along the lake. Not nearly as fun as our typical group Wednesday runs, but nice and relaxing knowing that I didn't have to work. I wore my bathing suit on the run (luckily anything goes in TN!) b/c I promised my bride-to-be that I wouldn't have terrible tan lines for her wedding :) |

AM - Workout at my high school track. Ran 4x1600m w/400m recovery, then 6x400m w/200m recovery. 1600s were 5:46, 5:45, 5:44, 5:47 (10K pace) and 400s were 78, 79, 80, 79, 78, 79 (5K+ pace). I ran the first mile counterclockwise but got paranoid about my hamstring. So I switched directions and didn't have any problems. The mile repeats seemed very controlled and I felt strong through most of the 400s (obviously tired by the end). I could tell a difference in the altitude difference with my ability to recover from each interval which was nice. A great workout! PM - Hiked 8 miles at Frozen Head State Park with my parents, 2050 vertical ft. Went up to an old Fire Tower to get views of the area. Beautiful mountains, in a totally different way than those out west. Was pretty exhausted by the end and figured that was enough exercise for one day, so no afternoon run. |
