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! Ran up and around Tanner Park then back home. It was so pleasant outside, and I spent the entire time appreciating the fact that I can enjoy running again. I really do love to run!

PM - 4 mile bike ride with Jake.

My first 40 mile week since the week of July 29, 2012. I'm planning to stay in the 40 mpw range for the next month or so and continue to do short mini-workouts once a week. I have several 5Ks this fall and am hoping that I'll be able to pull off a sub-18 by November.

No running. The groin area got pretty achy last night and there is still quite a bit of residual achiness this morning. I need to get into the routine of taking a day off from running every couple weeks anyways - it's good for the body! 

PM - Strength training, upper body weights and one-legged lower body exercises.

Horsepark loop with Jake, 5 miles at 8:10 pace. 

Does anyone else have a heart rate that is lower at night than it is in the morning? Mine is consistently 5-10 bpm lower right before bed. My only explanation is that my body has to work really hard to wake up...

Good to know that the Jordan High School track by work is open in the mornings. 5 miles with co-worker Jake. We ran my "get back into workouts" workout of 2 x (4 x 200m) with equal recovery and 400m between sets.  The 200s were an average 40.8s. I love 200s because they make you feel fast! Coworker Jake is just getting into running so I'm helping him train for the Saltair Half in November. I'm planning to rope him into joining FRB as well.

AM - JAJA Run! 6.2 miles, 7:50 pace. I did not pick a great route this morning so there was lots of car-dodging and turning. This week is going by sooo slowwww.

I decided not to run the TOU 5K up in Logan this weekend, but if anyone would like to go out for an easy 10 miles with me while waiting for the marathoners, let me know!

PM - 6 mile bike ride with Jake.

I supported National Run at Work Day and ran 3 miles during lunch. Today was a good day for a short run since I felt lousy and my abdominals were cramping.

AM - 8 miles around Logan while waiting for the TOU marathoners to get down the canyon, 9 min pace. Then I drove around the course to help support Allie, Jake, Devra, and Scott. Great performances all around, really proud of them today!
