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.

4 MILES!!! My longest run in 5 months! I felt really great today which was surprising considering the last couple days. There must be something special about the new Saucony Ride 7s that I tested out for Jake today :) Those shoes are awesome. I also just added a new psoas inhibition exercise to my PT that I found in a research article and I think it's helping. The patient lies supine in hook lying and is instructed to dorsiflex at the ankle and push through their quadriceps as if to gently slide up the mat. The challenge is to contract the quadriceps without activating the hamstrings. If done correctly, the tibialis anterior and quadriceps are activated, while the hamstrings and psoas are inhibited. PM - 4 miles on the bike with Jake.

| | AM - 2 miles around the block. Probably should have taken the day off, but I didn't want to. I had a little more TFL and glute compensation this morning. |

| | 30 minutes total of all the different aerobic machines at the gym to see if I can handle any of them yet. Order of worst to best - recumbent bike, rowing machine, upright bike, stairmaster, elliptical, treadmill. I may actually be able to handle the elliptical on the off-running days soon. |

| | 4 miles, 8:22 pace! I felt a little off it terms of what muscles were supposed to be firing but no pain so I kept going. It is so nice to go out for a 30+ min run - I hope I can do this every day soon! |

PM - 3.6 miles. I ran with Jake for 3 miles then the heat hit me hard. I haven't exercised at all in the 100 degrees yet so this was a huge shock to the system. Walk/jogged the last mile back home then immediately jumped in the pool. My face is still beet red from the effort - I am so out of shape! Really loving this running thing again :) I got signed up for Draper Days 5K this weekend, so my goal will be to break my 5K time from the last race: sub-24:47! Baby steps... |

Draper Days 5K (3.107 Miles) 00:21:28 | |
Really excited to run at Draper Days this morning. My warm-up consisted of only stretching and one stride because I didn't want to push my luck with mileage. I decided to run whatever pace felt comfortable injury-wise. I am actually quite pleased with my time and effort today - it shows that I have made huge improvements in the last two weeks (weeks 9 and 10 post-surgery). Good to know that I am right on schedule in terms of the rehabilitation. And that time is pretty good for running 10 miles/week for the last 4 weeks and 4 months of nothing prior to that. I am just so thankful to finally be running again :) The race turned out to be very competitive and a great showing by the top level runners in the area. Allie, James, and I went on a cooldown after our real cooldown of laying in the grass for 30 minutes. I'm trying to remember the last time I ran with Allie and James and I couldn't even remember. It's about time! I got to bust out my new Saucony uniform too -
