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 up to Ski Lake on Teton Pass, 4 miles RT. It is a great, gradual trail so Jake and I decided to run some sections on the way down.

AM - 5 MILES!! Ran 3.5 miles with Jake then headed home, got back at 4.1 and kept thinking - just a little more. I even beat the 8 min guy this morning! I had a little discomfort in the groin throughout the run but it was just surgical site weirdness. This distance means I get to do horsepark loop again!!

5 miles with Allie around Sugarhouse, 8 min pace. I felt good today. 

One great thing about coming back from a long injury is that my metabolism ramps up after even a short run and I can eat a lot of food :)

Ran in the Corporate Games 5K this morning, a cross country grass course at Cottonwood Complex. The course was about 3/10 of a mile short so I probably would've run somewhere around 21:20 had it been the right distance. I ran the typical XC style race - went out too fast (6:35 first mile) then tried to hang on (6:55 pace for the rest of the race). I was actually quite relieved that the course was short. I'm not going to lie, I did not like getting beat by a bunch of guys that did not look very fit.

Running on grass is a lot harder than roads and it became evident that I am still favoring my right side quite a bit. My form is not fluid and I'm collapsing to my left side on each stride. Once the race was over, I could tell that my pelvis was tilted. Lots of strengthening and form work needs to be done!

It was great to see several friends out there today...Carina and her training buddy Tara beat me handily in the race (Carina was pacing hence the 2nd place). Nice to chat with the Jamesons as well. 

Also, wearing an oversized t-shirt to race is not comfortable!
