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.

| | Afternoon run in the sun, 6.2 miles. I felt okay but not great - my pelvis felt a little off. Met up with Jake afterwards, who was measuring out the tempo loop with his new wheel.
I hit 40 miles for two weeks in a row :) Goal this week is to try a short tempo on Tuesday, intervals on Friday, and a longer run on Sunday for ~40 miles again.

| | Tuesday Tempo with Jake - 3 mile warm-up then 5K in 20:27 (6:36, 6:34, 6:31, :47). It felt like a very controlled effort and it was nice to have Jake join me on the tempo as part of his easy run :). Ran 2.5 miles to cool-down for 8.5 miles total. Temperature was in the 50s which was a nice surprise.

Lots of good stuff in here - Trent Stellingwerff: on the belief effect

| | Horsepark loops with Jake, 10k. It was a cold drizzling rain at first then raining pretty steadily by the end of the run. Had it been the other way around, I probably would've crawled back into bed.
I tried running in moonshoes (Hokas) for the first time this morning and was honestly a little disappointed. There is so much squishiness - to the point where I felt like I was losing all of my momentum on every stride....kinda like running on really soft wood chips all the time. The shoe was not very flexible so I could feel blisters starting to develop on my toes, and I just didn't feel like I had good running form with them. I can see how they might be nice for a 3-4 mile shake-out but definitely not what I would consider a good every day shoe. I don't want to sound negative but I'm just not as impressed as I thought I would be. My opinion though, and I know several people that do love the shoe.

| | Interval workout. Jake was nice enough to join me again so we warmed up 2 miles then ran 6 x 0.5 mi w/ 0.25 mi jog recovery. Averaged 2:53 (2:56, 2:52, 2:55, 2:54, 2:52, 2:49). It was extremely windy this morning - mostly from the east - so we picked a north and south route so it wasn't a big factor.
