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.

Planned to take today super easy...unfortunately we had a good 0.5 mile sprint to catch our plane back to SLC in Minneapolis. I'm counting it. Fortunately, I can now call 0.5 miles to be "no big deal". I'm so pumped up from the weekend and the fact that I am making progress makes me even more excited. I have to be REALLY careful for the next 3+ weeks so I only have small regressions moving forward (so tell me if you think I'm being stupid at any point). Anyway, I'll probably only do a short bike ride with Jake (5.5 miles) and maybe a stroll outside for the remainder of the day. Jake and I watched the film Food Inc over the weekend...got us thinking about our food (and especially meat) choices. It really shows how messed up our food industry is in this nation. I recommend watching it.

| | 2 miles of running! I felt good - no pain, only a little weakness in the adductor and psoas. My discomfort throughout the day has decreased significantly, and I actually feel like I'm recovering from day-to-day. Great news :)Â Rode on the bike for 5.5 miles in the afternoon. I took my heart rate for the first time in about a year and it was at 65 bpm...when I'm in shape it's around 50-55 bpm. I have a ways to go! |

| | Easy recovery day - 6 miles of biking and yoga/stretching. PT added sliding reverse lunges to my list of exercises. Run tomorrow! |

AM - 2 miles running around the block. I felt a little more awkward/instable running today because I did too much PT last night and was sore in my obliques and adductor. The PT told me to be careful about doing this new exercise of sliding reverse lunges, and I should've only done 1x10 instead of 3x8...I can't wait until this 'less is more' conservative phase is over! Still making progress overall so I'm not complaining. Jake and I were even seriously discussing me racing a 5K in November :) PM - 5 mile bike ride. |

| | AM - 7.5 mile bike ride with Allie during her tempo workout. I did a terrible job of pacing but blame it on the monster hills of Liberty Park. |

| | AM - 7 miles JAJAK run with me biking. The last couple days of biking have irritated the obliques more than I realized until now....just another reminder that I have to be overly careful. I need another good day to get my spirits back up. |

| | Went to the track to spectate the Sugarhouse Relays. Ran a half mile prior to the race then took lots of great photos during the race. So fun! I was able to cool down for 2 miles with the crew feeling pretty good except for a little abdominal cramping. |
