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 - 10 miles with Jake, Kevin, and Fritz. Amiee rode the bike with us for a few miles. Nice Sunday morning run as usual in SLC.
PM - 9 mile bike ride while Jake ran. Hamstring acting up a little.

AM - 4.8 miles, extended horsepark loop. Ran 1 mile slightly uphill in 6:04. I need to figure out a workout plan for the next few weeks before TOU Half. Since I'm still not comfortable with track intervals and my usual training routine b/c I don't want to take any risks with my hamstring, I'm thinking about trying some new stuff - hill repeats, cross training workouts, tempo runs on rolling terrain...My motivation seems to be up and down lately so maybe mixing it up will keep me engaged. FYI - Salt Lake Running Company is showing the Unbreakable movie this Friday at 7pm if anyone is interested. I have heard that it is really good! PM - 5 miles around Sugarhouse park with Jake.

AM - 2.2 mile warm-up then 6 miles at marathon pace with splits of 6:27, 6:23, 6:24, 6:24, 6:25, 6:24. Aerobically, this workout was not challenging - my breathing was under control and I felt very comfortable. At about 5.5 miles, I could feel a little strain in my hamstring and psoas muscle. So it seems that 30 minutes of tempo effort is about the limit for now. I'll take it for now! Did yoga for the first time in about 3 weeks and it was tiring! Stretching is hard. Need to get back on the every day plan again. So sad that Paula Radcliffe had to withdraw from the Olympic marathon. Her statement is worth a read. PM - Ultimate frisbee practice...Garmin had it at 3 miles worth of walking, jogging, and running so I'll count it as 1.5 miles.

| | AM - 9 miles around Millcreek/Sugarhouse, 6 of those with Jake. Average 8 min pace. Jake has been obsessively talking about CIM ever since Allie mentioned it in her blog (thanks a lot!)...I'm still wavering a little bit, but it does sound like a good option...that would give me about 6 more weeks to get healthy then be able to start training hard. I can't believe I'm thinking about another marathon - I guess the pain from the last one 8 months ago is finally wearing off! |

AM - 9 miles with the JAFAJA crew, lots of marathon talk! Long Run @ Jeremy Ranch on Saturday morning. We'll start here at 7:30am. Jake wrote this on his blog already, but I was hoping to get a couple less all-star runners to come :) I'm thinking more in the 7:30 pace range and running 13-17 miles. Post-run brunch is definitely on the table as well!

AM - Lazy 4.6 mile run on the horsepark loop.
PM - Soccer game, I'll call it 2 miles. Lots of sprinting!
Just for fun, Flotrack's opinion of the hottest women and men in track & field at the Olympics. I'm personally a fan of Jager and Bayer :)

| | AM - Long run at Jeremy Ranch with Jake, Fritz, Scott, Dan, Justin, Devra, and Annie. It was quite refreshing and fun to run with people that I don't ever get to run with! The run went by so quickly, and this is the best aerobically I have ever felt at Jeremy Ranch. I even threw in a 6:15 mile towards the end. I just wish that my body would cooperate! Hamstrings felt strained throughout the run...I'm going to have to do something different. I'm thinking 2-4 weeks of low mileage with focus on massage and strengthening. I'm in good shape right now - I can maintain that and come back ready to roll if I do this right. |
