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.

Horse park + Kings Row Loop with Jake biking along, 8.5 miles at 7:40 pace. I had another Super Sunday run - felt strong and smooth throughout. I may have to attribute this to our 45 min hot tub/pool soak before the run because yesterday's run was not nearly as good. I have had a little knee/IT band discomfort for about a week now. I'm not super worried bc my body is still adjusting and working out the kinks. Can you believe that Jake biked instead of running this morning?

Typical 4 mile loop with Jake. A little sore / weak on the right leg and groin from the weekend miles. My stomach still hurts from the monster burger at Red Robin last night!

Easy 6 miles around Millcreek with Jake. 

Too bad this study wasn't available 6 months ago when I was still injured! - "NASA Seeking People Willing To Stay In Bed For More Than Two Months". Honestly, I don't think I would do this for $50,000...I would be a total mental case. But I could definitely see Rachelle doing very well :)

Met Jake A for a workout. After a 2 mile warm-up, we ran 3 x (400m-200m-200m) with 200m b/w reps and 400m b/w sets. Times were 87-41-41, 88-41-43, 85-39-39. I felt pretty strong throughout with only a little knee instability towards the end. It's great to have someone to do these workouts with!

6.5 miles with the JAJA crew. The 8 min pace felt faster than my body wanted to go this morning, but that's just part of getting back in shape. I'm really happy with how my hip has felt this week.
