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.

| | Hiked in Canyonlands...planned to do the Syncline Loop at Island in the Sky but got turned around and ended up doing a short out-and-back (probably for the better!). Instead of our epic hike we found a great viewpoint and relaxed instead :) We did another very short hike before heading back to SLC. |

AM - Ran for 1.5 miles, then the run/backwards run for the next 2 miles. A lot more forwards than backwards :) PM - 3 miles of hill repeat walking with a few short jogs, took about 46 minutes. We had a great time down in Moab over the weekend...after so long in this injury state, I just reaally needed a fun adventure with friends. A few pics -

AM - 2.5 miles of running/backwards running. PM - 1.5 miles of walking at Sugarhouse Park. Walking is 10x more boring than running. Injury Update: I'm making a little progress...the injury is much more at bay than it was several weeks ago. Obviously, only running (forward!) for a mile at a time is not where I want to be but still an improvement. The past couple of days I have started to feel symptoms of IT band tightness - I'm taking this as an okay sign because 1) it's different from the terrible hamstring/hip issues and 2) I know how to treat IT band and am not running enough to really irritate it. My new goal is to be able to run 5 miles pain-free by my birthday (November 3).

AM - Elliptical for 25 minutes then 15 minutes of yoga core. I have to be really smart right now and not do too much because it could make or break whether I keep making progress or regress back into this injury cycle. PM - Boot camp class for 30 minutes at lunch. Walked a lap (1.8 miles) around Sugarhouse Park after work. |

AM - Out with Jake and back home. Ran 2.2 miles straight and 3.1 miles with only one backwards running section. I might just be able to run the entire Utah Fittest 5K in 9 days! PM - Weight training for 20 minutes at lunch. After work, walked hill repeats while Jake ran them.

AM - Ran 5K straight!! No backwards running, walking, or other silly stuff :)
Went to the doctor that did the steroid injections into my spine this morning...as you've probably seen on the news, there has been a huge outbreak recently of meningitis due to tainted steroid injections. My doctor told me that the injection I received was from the company that had these tainted injections but it was not the same drug. Still, I should go to the emergency room immediately if I have any symptoms. Scary!
Good luck everyone on races this weekend! |

AM - 2.3 miles with Jake on his warm-up for the race. Felt really good this morning. Watched the race then ran 0.7 more to get 3 miles. PM1 - Hiked Mt. Aire with Jake, Allie, James, Kevin, and Hannah...that is a steep hike! 1.8 miles with about 2000ft of vertical. PM2 - Rollerbladed alongside Kevin and Jake on their shakeout for 5 miles. Lots of exercise today - I hope this wasn't too much!!
