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 - 4.8 miles with Kevin and Jake on the Town Trail at Brian Head. Uphill all the way out, then nice cruise on the way back. Pace was slow but hard.

PM - Kanarraville Creek Slot Canyon hike...about 3.5 miles. Amazing - totally recommend this hike. After a break, we did some abs and general strength training.

AM - 4.5 miles on the dirt roads in Brian Head, slow. So hard to run up at this elevation. 

PM - Several very short hikes in Red Canyon...really enjoyed the Arches Trail. Probably 2 miles worth.

PM2 - Biking on the dirt roads from our place in Bryce Canyon to Fairyland Point. Very sandy and difficult for riding, took the road on the way back. 6.7 miles.

AM - 6.7 miles, Rim Trail at Bryce Canyon. The trail is deceivingly hard with lots of very steep inclines. Jake and I ran from Sunrise Point to Bryce Point for 6.7 miles. Average pace of 9:55!! I must be tired from Days 1-4 of vacation. 

PM - Hiked the Queens Garden - Peek-A-Boo Loop - Navajo Loop trails for 6.7 miles. It was one of the most beautiful hikes I' have been on. Not an easy hike but well worth the effort.

AM - Ahhhh....oxygen! Short run around the block. After 5 days running/hiking/biking/playing at high altitude, my body was ready for the "low" elevation of SLC. Exercising at 8000-11,000 ft is HARD! We had a great vacation in Southern Utah, and I'm so glad that Amiee and Kevin joined Jake and me. A favorite picture from each day (many more to come on the wasatch blog the next few days) - 

 

 

 


 

 

PM - Strength training class for 30 minutes. Feeling the need to be lazy so no more aerobic activity today.

Caught some sort of stomach virus yesterday and was miserable all night. Lots of pain and throwing up...so I took a sick day and slept until 10:30am. Feeling about 70% now. Hopefully this is just a 24 hour bug and I'll be good to go for the weekend.

PM - Went out to meet Jake on his way home from work. Ran 4.6 miles then proceeded to curl up in a ball for the next 15 minutes and pout about feeling terrible.

Jake put up a bunch of great posts from our vacation on Wasatch and Beyond.

AM - 8.5 miles at Jeremy Ranch with Jake. Still playing it safe with the hamstring and didn't want to go too far. Messed around with my new camera while Jake finished up his run.

PM - Bike ride on the PC rail trail (7 miles) with Jake while he was running.
