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.

Hiked 3.5 miles around Albion Basin this afternoon. It was perfect weather and beautiful up there! I felt really good until about 3.4 miles when my right leg got too tired to work right anymore. Good to know that I can hike since we're going up to Jackson Hole this coming week!

Went on a 4 mile bike ride with Jake after a long break.

No running - I need a day off to recover from so much last week. I have to update my blog now so I don't convince myself it's a good idea this afternoon. 

PM - 7 mile bike ride with Jake. PT today focused on lots of manual therapy on my back and psoas. He added a lot of glute isolation exercises and static back extension.

AM - 3.2 miles with Jake, 8:15 pace. I really focused on lifting my knees because I'm still weak there. I probably need to start doing form stuff to make sure I'm not creating bad habits.

I spent the morning cheering on the Des News Marathon/Half/10K runners. I watched a very exciting (and fast!) race in the 10K then headed up to Wasatch Blvd to cheer on the marathoners. I ended up running 3 miles along the course at 6:30 pace. Pretty happy to manage that pace but it was hard! Progress from last week's 5K!

Shout out to Jake who had a solid kick this morning and huge shout out to ALLIE who ran an awesome marathon this morning :) Pics from the races here.

Now off to Jackson for the long weekend!!

Hiked 6 miles in Teton National Park - Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls to Inspiration Point and back. Had some distal hamstring pain but felt pretty good overall.

10 MILE hike in Teton National Park, up to Ampitheatre Lake and back (3100 ft elevation). This was a huge step for me and I honestly didn't think it would go as well as it did. Had two very cold soaks in the lake before heading down and that helped a lot. Wrapped my distal hamstring and it didn't bother me at all.

After two breakthrough days of hiking, I needed a low-key day. Biked alongside Jake running in the morning for 6 miles then did a service project of weeding (which was hard!) with our friends for the museum in Jackson. We also went boating on Jackson Lake which was beautiful.
