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 - 10 miles around Millcreek easy. Kicking myself for that 5:30 mile yesterday because my hamstring and posterior tibialis tendons hurt today. I'll probably be fine in a couple days, but I just hate the worry and doubt it puts in my head. |

Got to hang out with Rob Murphy and family last night. What a fun crew! I somehow managed to leave without stealing their puppy :o)

AM - 4.4 miles horsepark loop with Jake. I can't believe it's only Tuesday - this week is going by so slowly! PM - 1 mile with 5 x 80m strides, just to get the legs moving this evening.
Compression garments improve lactic-acid and HR recovery in interval training session for runners - abstract here.

| | AM - Workout. 8 miles total. 2 mile warmup then straight into 3 x mile at marathon pace with a full mile recovery in between, followed by 1 mile cooldown. Hit the miles at 6:19, 6:15, 6:14. It was tough to get moving this morning, probably b/c it was cold and early. Jake and I are speaking at the LDR Circuit Banquet tonight. Hopefully we don't bore everyone!
Weighed in today for our Project "0" Program at work. The goal is to not gain any weight through New Years, and you get $25 if you can do it. Good thing I drank a ton before because it's going to be hard to stay at my marathon weight.

AM - JAJA Run, 6 miles around Sugarhouse.
The USATF LDR Circuit Banquet was a lot of fun last night. The amount of talent and experience in one room was quite impressive. It was great to talk to everyone and get their support. This year, we didn't know about the circuit until mid-season so weren't able to be a part of it but are definitely doing it for 2012. I won a free entry into the Striders Half in the raffle and got free dinner, so I'd say it was a pretty successful evening! I think this is some good advice for Tips for Training Through the Winter.

AM - Lucky horsepark loop 4.4 miles. I had a dream about the marathon last night. We started the race and after 30 minutes of running, they let all the elite athletes take a 5 minute break. Then we started running again, and I was feeling pretty good and relaxed. We got a 20 minute break once we hit the halfway point and I came in at 1:23:34 (goal was 1:23). I told the two other girls that we would have to pick it up in the second half to get the qualifying time. As we were resting, I started getting really anxious and nervous that the people in charge never stopped the clock and all this time was going against us! We were running again, and I remember thinking that the stop-and-go might actually be harder than just to keep running. Then I woke up. Dreams are so weird. So moral of the story - as much as I may want to stop, it's probably not in my best interest :) Final Miles Motivation Blog. Let me know if you have anything to add!!
