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 - 3.5 miles around the neighborhoods with Jake. 

In the past month, I have gained 3-4 lbs...this is definitely a change! When I got hurt 19 months ago, my weight dropped way low to 113lbs, and I was unable to gain the weight back (despite the fact that I stopped exercising completely). I don't really know why this happened because my diet didn't change at all...my guess is that my body was fighting the injury and trying to protect itself. My normal weight is ~117lbs so maybe this is a sign that I am healing and gaining muscle mass again! Or maybe I'm just eating way too much food :)

You must be feeling better this week!?! Runzies every day!!!

Better, yes. Running for 30 minutes every day doesn't cause many problems like the the further distance runs...so my new plan is to do this for 6 weeks or so, then re-evaluate. I was obviously not getting anywhere by pushing the limits!

My wife told me to never make any weight-related comments on female blogs, but I like that you're able to run every day. Should keep you in decent shape for when you're ready to start training harder again.

From Amiee on Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 09:28:09 from 155.98.164.38

Ha! You should change your name from SlowJoe to SMARTJoe :)

Now that you've defied your wife's orders and have nothing to lose, I think you should spend the rest of the morning making weight-related comments on all female blogs. Guys too if you have time. That should stir things up!

If the guys can comment on each other's blogs with "great weight today", girls can too :)

From Amiee on Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 09:37:35 from 155.98.164.38

But he didn't make any weight-related comments??? Or am I missing something...

From Jake K on Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 09:44:41 from 159.212.71.173

Good point. SlimJoe is smarter than all of us.

Thanks Jake. Now, go lose some weight, tubby.
