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 - Horsepark loop. No watch, but it seemed to take forever. I felt pretty terrible - all the traveling yesterday and residual marathon fatigue really caught up to me. I'm probably going to take a couple days off from running now, stick to cross training.

AM - 5 miles up towards Sugarhouse and back. Feel better than I have the past week, probably because I got extra sleep and took a day off running yesterday. 

PM - 20 minutes exercise bike and push-ups.

Would anyone be interested in getting together for a Saturday morning run? Maybe around 10-12 miles at 8 min mile pace, don't know if I can run faster than that yet!

AM - WINDY!! I'm writing in Italic because that's how the JAJAs looked running this morning! 8.3 miles. James was the tailwind expert, Allie lost two hats, Jake tackled Sunnyside and lost to the sand and dirt, and I got leaf scratches on my face. Quite the fiasco/entertainment. 

 Jake casually informed me that if I average 8.5 miles for December then I will hit 3000 for the year...it would really be a shame to be so close to 3000 and miss it by a few miles...ughhh why did he have to tell me that?! I wouldn't even have known/cared otherwise! :)

So tentative plan for Saturday - meet at Jordan River Parkway at 3300S. Place is flexible if another location is more convenient. Just let me know. 8am, 10-12 miles ~8 min pace.

AM - 4.5 miles, up towards Sugarhouse and back. I woke up with a bit of a sore throat this morning, feeling more tired as well...hopefully I can prevent getting sick with lots of Vitamin C and taking it easy today.

AM - 11 miles with Allie, James, Rob M, Emily J, Jake, and Bryan. We had a very nice run with a little snow and sunshine. We ended up running about 7:30 pace, my first miles under 8 min for two weeks! I'm still feeling general fatigue; it might take me another week to recover from the marathon and feel good again. On another note, I think I am starting to develop my first black toe nail - I'm actually pretty impressed that I have made it so long!
