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.

| | AM - Walk to the Cottonwood Complex, 3 miles around the perimeter, then walk back home. Good run overall, just weird that the pain that I had in my piriformis is now completely gone but I now have other weird pains that come and go. |

AM - 12 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes walking on the treadmill. Irritated muscles from breaking up scar tissue last night, but I feel like we are close to figuring out what's wrong with me. PM - Felt much better as the day went on. 30 minutes of pool running and arm weights for 25 minutes. |

| | AM - 20 minutes on the exercise bike then 20 minutes of yoga. I seem to always feel the worst in the morning and better at night. I'm going to Nate Graven (of Graven Sports Therapies) today. He's been recommended to me by 4-5 people now, so he better not disappoint! |

AM - Run/walk mix on the treadmill. I was watching myself run and noticed that my right knee seems to collapse slightly inwards on impact (valgus knee). I was only running at 9 min pace and for 0.5 mile at a time, so I imagine that it becomes more pronounced as I got faster/further. This makes sense with a strained and weak gluteus medius muscle and can cause a lot of compensation pain as well. I had a co-worker film me so I will post the video when I can... PM - Arm weight training 30 minutes. |

AM - 20 minutes walking on the treadmill and 15 minutes of yoga. I'm starting to feel a tiny bit of progress...finally. I anticipate it taking until the end of the year to heal, but that's okay. Here is the new theory - I strained my iliopsoas muscle when I was hiking (tight hamstring muscles and anterior tilt put extra pressure on that muscle). I kept running on it for a few weeks and it caused a lot of other muscles to compensate. One of those muscles was the gluteus medius muslce and I strained it on a long hard run right before I couldn't run anymore. That made for a pretty shaky pelvic/hip area. Both muscles now have scar tissue which causes more pain, muscle restriction, and lack of healing properly. A weak/poor gluteus medius muscle can cause your hip to drop and the knee to move inward on impact. I noticed this yesterday in me while running. The distal hamstring muscle helps to stabilize the knee joint so it's being stressed to prevent the inward movement and the reason why it's not healing. Whew...so I have three problems - iliopsoas strain, gluteus medius strain, and hamstring tightness/pain. Talk about a fiasco. It makes sense to me...all part of the kinetic chain. Interested to hear what others think. Heading home to TN this weekend for a wedding in the Smoky Mtns and some family time!

| | Walked around Gatlinburg, TN for 90 minutes while Jake was running. Had to stop a few times from irritation. |
