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.

Lunch run in Dimple Dell...slow and pleasant. Got to thinking about long-term running goals and that was fun.

Monday Motivation!

“You have to hang on and look at the future. This is a very significant point. Running is never a waste. Everything you are doing now is all part of the grand plan. What’s going to happen nine years down the road? The more you train, the more consistent you become.” - Bill Rogers

“The enduring satisfaction of distance running is not in records that will inevitably be broken, not in knowing that you were the best on a given day. It lies in knowing that you have learned how to be brave and to do something better than you first thought you could, and perhaps in knowing you amazed a few people along the way." -Kenny Moore

10 miles with Jake A. We ran a 3 mile warm-up then 4 mile tempo in 27:23 (6:49, 6:53, 7:02, 6:39). The tempo portion had a few small gradual ups and downs but mostly flat. I felt a little tired by the end of the run and psoas got a little achy. Our 3 mile cooldown was very snowy and felt like January. Come back fall!!

4 miles, 8:55 pace. My groin and psoas were a little tight but a massage from Tim tonight should help. The cold weather has also mildly triggered forefoot pain again (metatarsalgia) so this morning I moved up to a size 10.5 WIDE in womens shoes!

Horsepark loops, 6.1 miles. Saw Teddy and lots of other dogs. Which brings me to my question....Jake - can we foster this puppy?!?!?

Track workout with Jake A. After a 2 mile warm-up, we ran 6x800m w/ 400m jog recovery. Splits were 2:59, 2:59, 3:00, 3:00, 3:00, 3:00. Short cool-down back to work for 7.8 miles total. The workout felt pretty challenging, especially those last couple reps.

AM - 45 minutes of arm weights and PT. Adductor is really sore (in a good way!) so I'm waiting until this afternoon to run.

PM - 4 miles with Jake. Very enjoyable run.
