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.

AM - 1 mile walk with the dog.

PM - First strength training class, 45 minutes. I felt....normal. A little irritation afterwards in the glute and hamstring but still working out the kinks. On my afternoon walk, I jog-shuffled 3 x 100 steps and was pain-free. Obviously I'm getting antsy, excited that I can see running in my near future.

About three miles walking total. We went to the dog park up at Tanner Park this afternoon and it was awesome - great trails and trails. I will definitely be back, maybe even to run on the trails down there. PT exercises, added a core ball workout to the mix and increased the psoas exercises.

AM - Tanner dog park walk then watched Jake on the track with the old pup. 

PM - Several walks throughout the day then tried running a little. I could run about 0.2 miles at a time before my right leg ran out of power so I did that twice. Fun!
