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 - Went walking for a while, then ran 1 mile to see how it felt. Not great but throughout the day it felt equally as bad as if I didn't run. PM - Lots of walking around the rest of the day. |

AM - Jogged around the block. Probably not a great idea but mentally needed it. I'm mostly just discouraged that taking time off isn't helping and I'm starting to lose my fitness now. The hip pain is pretty bad unless I take ibuprofen every 4-5 hours. I still feel it all the time. Had a fun weekend with Jake and his family up in Heber this past weekend...they were nice enough to find activities that were minimal exercise, like rafting and shooting (?!).

AM - Jogged around the block again. After the run yesterday, I felt better than I have in two weeks so I tried to replicate that this morning. Unfortunately that was just a fluke because I'm back to bad today. Yoga for 30 minutes.
PM - 7 mile cruise on the bike while Jake ran. Thankfully he was only running 8 min pace so I could keep up!

AM - Half loop around the block then yoga for 30 minutes. PM - 30 minutes of upper body weight training and rehab exercises. Interesting article about real altitude vs. fake altitude.

AM - 2 miles around the block then yoga. It's just so weird...my left leg feels great but my right leg is so achy and worn out. When I'm running, there is an immediate and constant deep pain in the right glutes and my hamstring feels like it's being pulled. When I'm resting, the pain feels more like it's in the join space and spreads out from there. On a positive light, I only had to take ibuprofen once yesterday where I have been taking it 3x a day...and I do think that the short jog is helping to make it not hurt as much during the day. I think I'll try the elliptical tomorrow and see if I can prevent that glute pain I am getting when I run. PM - 30 min of full-body weight training. Rehab exercises at night. If you have 10 minutes or so, this is a really interesting piece with Ian Dobson and Julia Lucas and their experience at the Oly Trials.

| | AM - 20 minutes on the elliptical. Put the incline as low as it would go (to not irritate the hip or hamstring) and a moderate resistance...I learned that it is actually just as hard to have the incline low because you have less body weight working for you. Never really thought about that before. The elliptical felt decent, much better than running in terms of the glute pain but a little more effort on the front of my hip. I think it's a good alternative for now, as long as I keep it super easy. Yoga for 50 minutes. Tried a new one today - the P90X version. I thought it was good - a lot of work with the hips. Mine are obviously weak so they fatigued quickly. Will probably only do this one once a week so I don't totally overwhelm the area (and it gets so boring!). |

AM - 2.2 miles with the fast crew on their post-TOU1/2 cooldown. It was fun getting to see so many people that I haven't seen in a while! Some great performances out there today. Pics of some fellow bloggers racing:
