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 - Easy run around the Millcreek neighborhoods - 7:45 pace. My legs didn't feel too sore, but I can tell that the delayed onset muscle soreness will get worse as the day goes on. My chest and lungs hurt, indicating that I worked pretty hard yesterday!
I forgot to mention yesterday that I got huge blisters on my forefeet that made for a tough last few miles in the race. That is the worst place to get blisters! They didn't feel too great on the run this morning either. I put them in epsom salt after the run so hopefully they will magically disappear by tomorrow.
PM -Went on a short hike up to Catherine's Pass near Alta. See Jake's blog for pics of the moose! 3 miles roundtrip.

AM - 2.6 miles around the block before my flight to WI. 9 min/mile pace - I must've been tired! Didn't sleep well at all last night - the storm was LOUD. Somehow water started leaking substantially from the top of the bedroom window, so that was a fiasco. I'll have to figure out how to fix that.
PM - One of the best trail runs I have had in a while. Met up with Erik (Hamdog Alum) this afternoon at Kettle Moraine State Forest in Wisconsin. First, I have to say that it was awesome to have a connection in WI to run with - that's why I love the blog! And Erik was great company. We ran on the nordic trails for about 10.8 miles with lots of rolling hills. The time flew by - it was just one of those runs when I remember how much I love running! I'm hoping that he will come visit in Utah, and I can return the favor.

| | AM - Woke up starving! Managed to get in 3 miles, but felt like I had no energy. 8:40 pace. PM - Well, I think the race and subsequent runs finally did me in. I actually had a great route - apparently you are allowed to walk/run right by the shore of Lake Geneva thru the backyards of multimillion dollar homes. The homes were gorgeous. I ran easy pace, which turned out to be another 8:40 min/mile for 5 miles. I feel totally worn out...might need to do short, easy single days so I can recover.

AM - Ran on the trails around Lake Geneva again, this time going the other way. There was one part where the trail was heavily wooded and I freaked myself out a little that someone was following me. This is why I hate running by myself! Other than that, a beautiful run. Managed 8:20 pace this morning.
Here are a lot of the houses I've been running by on the lake. The trail is between the houses and the lake - MANSIONS!

PM - 5 laps around Liberty Park. My legs are feeling good again, probably because I took this morning off (had to be at the airport super early). I like traveling every once in a while, but it's good to be back in SLC!
Watch the celebration at the end of the steeplechase in the World Champs, around the 2:40 mark! So funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oftuz9YhkUw&feature=player_embedded#!

AM - Woke up at 6am and didn't feel like getting up, so slept another 40 minutes. So, I only had time for the horsepark loop. Not really that upset about it; sleep seemed more important! Plus, long run tomorrow is going to be LONG!! I was surprised how chilly is was this morning - I almost wanted gloves. I don't want summer to go away and cold weather to come yet! PM - 3.6 miles near Wolf Mountain ski area, easy. Going to run somewhere between 16-20 tomorrow. I've never run more than 17 before and can't decide how much to do! Any thoughts?

AM - Met up with Allie and Ken Richardson for a long run on the first part of the Ogden marathon course, then trails for the last 6 miles. 20.6 miles this morning!! I haven't run more than 17, so this was new territory. I felt great, considering the distance. The pace was super consistent - 7 min/mile +-6 seconds for the first 15. Then we hit the North Arm Trail for the last few which naturally slowed the pace a little but same effort level. Jake decided that Allie and I needed an extra 0.6 miles past 20 so he "accidently" took a wrong turn for a quarter mile. Overall great run, great company with average 7:03 pace. The run went by really fast - lots of conversation. Now I get to eat EVERYTHING!!!
