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.

Lauren Fleshman really hit home with her recent post -
I needed my trusted therapist of 16 years: The Run. Running is so much more to me than a job or a way to test my potential. Running is “move, sweat, process, move on.” With running I’ve set goals, won championships, flushed out ideas for writing, started two businesses, developed friendships, grown up. My run is meditation, prayer, therapy, and source of pleasure and pain. Problem was, just like the previous 43 days I needed my “therapist”, I remembered for the ONE THOUSANTH TIME she was unavailable due to injury. The injured runner is like a recent amputee victim, continually forgetting that the limb isn’t there, crestfallen at each realization. What we need more than anything is a suitable prosthetic and an attitude adjustment.

AM - 2 miles, ran a mile with Jake and then back home. Felt DIZZY! The doctor gave me a prescription for methylprednisolone, a corticosteroid which is involved in regulation of inflammation. The goal is for the medicine to get my inflammation under control so that the muscles will be able to heal. I only take it for 6 days, starting with a high dose and tapering down after that. The doctor said that if there's no relief by day 4, he will schedule the MRI. There are lots of side effects to this drug (after all, it is messing with the amount of cortisol in the body). One is dizziness - and I am very dizzy. Others include weight gain, moodiness, and trouble sleeping. Imagine how fun I will be if I have all those side effects! :) It's only 6 days though...no big deal. PM - Weight training for 30 minutes. Gotta take advantage of those steroids!!

AM - Headed up to Huntsville to watch the Wildcat Half Marathon. I walked around the course, taking pictures and cheering everyone on (link to pics on Jake's blog). Probably ended up doing about an hour of walking around, then joined MarkP and Jake for their short cooldown. Afterwards and now in quite a bit of pain with my hip. That must've been too much...steroids don't seem to be helping. PM - Bike ride with Jake, 3 miles. |
