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.

Jake 2:20:41! PR :)

Spectated CIM with Ericka - we were able to get to 5 spots along the course to cheer on the trio and even got in some running of our own. It was VERY COLD for racing and I think this factor resulted in slower times than is typical for this race. Muscles can never warm-up with temperatures in the 20s and none of the top competitors have any body fat for warmth! 

A few hours after the race, I went for a short 2.5 mile run along the river. 

Here are some photos of the race (Jake will put others up on his blog too). Unfortunately I forgot my good camera at the hotel so most of these are poor quality iPhone pics.

Over the past three weeks, my hip has gotten gradually more achy. It's very non-specific and deep achiness that is different from what I have felt before. I thought it might be another random issue that goes away but now I'm starting to get more concerned. I can't seem to find the source of the problem - maybe it's scar tissue, hip tightness, hip flexor muscles....I may have to take another trip to the physical therapist and see if he has any ideas. I'll continue to keep it easy this week.

Can running save the NCAA?

5K on the treadmill. Running loosened up my hip nicely but I'm not sure it will last. I may do short runs for the next few days.

AM - 3.5 miles on the treadmill, 7:25 pace. I ran lots of pick-ups to get my hip through the full range of motion and that felt good. 

PM - 1.5 miles on the treadmill to loosen up my hip. First double since Alta Peruvian!
