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 - Well, I'm not a total disaster after running yesterday. Sore, but I'm thinking maybe it's a good sore? Rode on the recumbent bike r=7 for 20 minutes, then yoga for 20 minutes. 

PM - Arm weights for 40 minutes then pool running for 30 minutes. Felt good!

So glad it's Thanksgiving week!

AM - 3 MILES on the treadmill at 8 min pace. NO PAIN! :) Tightness/soreness in the hamstring (residual from my 4 miles on Sunday) but nothing to be too concerned about! I'm so excited!!! 20 minutes of yoga afterwards.

AM - 3.2 miles in TN. There is nowhere close to home that I can run flat, so I tried running a few of the hills - probably wasn't a great idea. Still had a good run overall but the psoas tightened up a little near the end (which I am completely trying to avoid). Good news is that I didn't have any hamstring tightness this time. Gotta stick with completely flat and running every other day for a couple more weeks! It will take quite a while to get back to true training, but I'm still running :)
