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 - Jake and I headed up to Jeremy Ranch Road this morning. This is probably my new favorite run - at altitude, rolling hills, cooler temperatures, dirt road, and no cars! Tough to beat that, and this will probably become a standard for longer runs. I ran a 10 mile out-and-back, at 7 min/mile. I felt good, but my breathing got a little labored on the uphills by the end. Then I got the bike and accompanied Jake for the rest of his mileage. |

AM - Loops around Sugarhouse. I found Emily after 20 minutes or so and we ran together. Lots of sprinkler dodging!
I have officially gone a week without any candy! However, I do not consider semi-sweet chocolate chips to be candy :o) PM - Strength training for 35 min. Then elliptical for 25 minutes. My back is feeling better...

AM - 8 x 200 w/ 200 jog between reps. Averaged ~39 seconds with a strong focus on form. It felt easy and my back didn't tighten up, which is a great sign. If I have no residual back pain all day, I'll know that I'm on the right track and can start building up my running again (slowly, of course). Sugarhouse loop for warm-up and cool-down. PM - 2 laps around Liberty Park. 3 miles 7:40 pace. First day two-a-day running = not too bad. Jake and I treated ourselves to frozen yogurt afterwards. |

AM - Horsepark loop 4.4 miles. Woke up in a total food mode - managed to eat an ice cream bar, Oreo, chocolate chips, and a scoop of ice cream before I finally got myself out the door! lol Despite that, I still felt great on the run. My back felt good again today - sitting on the exercise ball and doing all the stretches and core is working! PM - 3.7 miles, 2 loops around Sugarhouse.

AM - Ran with the Alta High XC team this morning. 6.5 miles with 6 x 3 min "pick-ups". I'm not sure what kind of pace we were running, but it was a pretty good run. I hope that I'll be able to run with them once a week or so. PM - Abs 15 min. Then lazy 12 minutes running while Jake was doing repeats on the track. |

| | AM - Ran laps with Allie and Emily at Liberty Park. It was a great run - time goes by so much faster when running with others. Hopefully, group runs like this will become more regular :o) Averaged ~7:25 min/mile, which is faster than I thought but still felt easy. Heading to TN for 5 days!! It's going to be HOT, but I am excited to see my family again. We're planning to go whitewater rafting, hiking, water skiing, tubing, racing a 5K, mini-golfing...basically what Jake and I would call a "relaxing vacation". BUT I'm pretty sure my family will be exhausted by the end!

| | AM - Got up tired from 4 hours of sleep (I do not do well with little sleep, anything less than 9 hours and I struggle). Ran 5.3 miles, normal pace. Dripping sweat by mile 1...I forgot that I used to always carry a rag with me when running in the summer in TN :o) PM - 3.3 miles before dinner.
