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.

| | AM - Weights + hamstring exercises. Then we headed up LCC for a Pfeifferhorn hike with a fun crew. Jake made the summit while the rest of us just relaxed and enjoyed the outdoors. It's a beautiful area...I was wishing there was a little more snow for glissading (or tubing!) but that'll have to wait until next year. Jake made a trip report here.

AM - Weights for 30 minutes then yoga + massage. Felt lightheaded this morning - probably still a little dehydrated from being out in the sun all day yesterday. I'm actually kind of enjoying not running everyday. I must really need some mental rejuvenation. Some pics from James and Allie's wedding -

AM - JAJAK Run...we moved it to Tuesday this week so we could run up at Alta tomorrow. It was a fun run, as usual, with the crew. Jake told me I was limping/favoring my right leg while we were running. This makes me really sad because I thought my hamstring was doing okay. I definitely don't want to cause another problem because I'm compensating. This is a great blog entry by Lauren Fleshman who is running the 5K at the Trials.

AM - 30 minutes of weights/strengthening exercises, then yoga. PM - Was going to run up at Alta but didn't want to feel out of shape today so opted to run with Devra at Dimple Dell instead. The hills at Dimple Dell are pretty brutal too!
Sweat Science article - Strengthening, Not Stretching, To Deal With IT Band Syndrome. Seems like so many injuries can be avoided with hip strengthening.

AM - Really wanted to run because it was perfect weather outside but only got a little ways before my hamstring just felt uncomfortable. It feels different than before the half...not really better but different. I've been putting a lot of focus on my hamstring for the past two weeks with lots of massage, PT exercises, and strengthening. So hopefully the tendon is just a little weak and in the rebuilding phase. Devra suggested I massage with aspercreme because she has had some success with it. I'll probably take a couple more down weeks in regards to running and focus on other fun activities for a while. PM - Weight training class for 45 minutes...probably only 30 minutes of hard work. My inner thighs are going to be sore!
Make sure to watch the Trials this evening - 5K Finals! Plus lots more...

AM - Horsepark loop 4.4 miles. Felt good running and saw the cutest puppy at the park so it was a great start to the day. Today is a short day of work then VACATION!!! Brian Head, Cedar Breaks, Zion, Bryce....it's going to be awesome. Anyone have recommendations for fun adventures in those areas?
If anyone is interested in doing Tour de Run (3 stage race on July 13-14 - 5K, 10K, 5 miles), you can use the code wasatchreferral
and it will only be $50. This seems like a pretty cool new idea,
hopefully we can get a bunch of people to sign up... maybe even make a
few teams from the blog? Jake wrote some more about the race on Wasatch
& Beyond (blog link)

| | AM - 5 miles running on the dirt roads in Brian Head. 9600+ ft is hard! PM - 4 miles of hiking on the Ramparts Trail at Cedar Breaks National Monument. Beautiful area. Then lots of activities - horseshoes, bbasketball, ping pong, archery, etc.
