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.

Ran 5.8 miles with the JAJARS crew then they dropped me off at home and continued on their way. Groin and back are sore from yesterday but should feel good again by tomorrow.

I ended up with 36 miles for the week. Although I was aiming for 40, last weekend's traveling and the hard track workout on Wednesday caused a little more discomfort than I had expected. The goal this coming week is to get in a workout and a couple longer runs.

“One thing is sure: if you want running fast in competition, you must run fast in training. The problem is WHEN and HOW, not IF.” -Renato Canova

Tempo Tuesday! Ran 10 miles with Jake A with 5K in 20:59 (7:02, 6:38, 6:36, :43). The initial goal was to run the tempo at 7:15 pace but the faster pace felt like the right effort for both of us. Jake A showed me how to get from work to the JRP (2.25 miles - not bad!), and we ran on there for most of the run. My back has started to bother me a bit again since the 5K on Saturday, so I need to figure that out before it becomes a problem again.

Thursday workout. I ran 2.5 miles to the Jordan High track only to find 50 high school kids so I had to modify the workout for the roads. There is a short section of the Sandy Rail Trail close to the track that has a start and 1/4 mile marker so I used that for the workout. I did 3 x (4 x 0.25 mi) with 1:00 recovery jog between reps and 2:15 between sets. Reps were all between 1:26-1:30 with ~1:28 average. It has taken me 6 weeks but I finally made it up to 3 miles worth of intervals! I hit the effort level that I was targeting and felt good. Beautfiul afternoon again - love fall!

Lunchtime 3.8 mile easy run. Groin and adductor are a little sore, as expected.

Sunday (10/27) run - 9am at Highland HS. We'll probably run ~10 and then add on if people want to get in some more.
