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 - Accompanied Jake on the rollerblades for 7 miles. My hip/leg freaked out yesterday after a short bike ride so no more cycling for a while. I had a dream about racing last night - that must mean I'm really ready to start training again.

PM - Bowling party, followed by my first blading double for 4.4 miles.

AM - Decided that the elliptical was safest this morning - 35 minutes at moderate difficulty. No hamstring problems but the hip is still acting up a little since that silly 3 mile bike ride on Saturday. Gotta stick with what works - gallo-walking, rollerblading, and elliptical-ing. What a joke!

PM - Weight training 30 minutes.  

This is an interesting article about minimalist kids shoes

Oh yeah....and The USATF Annual Board Meeting and Elections is scheduled TODAY 6:30pm at the Erickson's, 4725 Sycamore Drive, Holladay, UT 84117. All USATF members can attend. Jake and I want to help get more races on the circuit next year!

AM - I was going to meet up with Allie for a run/walk, but I bailed because 1) it was pouring and 2) I must've done something weight training yesterday to cause havoc on my hip area today. So elliptical was the safe bet...I started a more difficult and longer session today, but it turns out 35 minutes was my limit without much pain. I just don't know what to do anymore...I've really tried to do everything right. I took off for 6 weeks...I've been working on core work, hip strengthening, weight training....I had cortisone injections, diagnostic tests, PT, ART....seriously, what's left?

Not a good day for the injury. Did some strengthening and core then rollerbladed alongside Jake on his 4 mile shake-out.

If you are interested in trying to save the men's University of Richmond T&F and XC Program - here is a petition. Despite the fact they have been one of the best, they are cutting it for a Lacrosse Team instead!

Hiking fun in Arches...we hiked the Devil's Garden Loop, took a short break, then hiked in the Fiery Furnace until the ranger practically kicked us out.
