It is certainly no wonder that Utah is one of the premiere destinations in the world for people who love the outdoors.
Utah is the place where many marathons take place ever year. Some of these Utah running races have been ranked as Runner's World 10 Most Scenic and Fastest Marathon and Top 20 Marathons in the USA.

Hi Janae,
I knew you would be the perfect person to ask this questions.
What are your opinions about running and pregnancy. Does it affect it does it hurt the baby in the beginning trimester? Does it affect trying to get pregnant? There are so many myths out there.
I have been training for a half marathon for the past year and have a good base of ten miles and have run 3 half marathons, everyone tells me to stop if I want to get pregnant, but I feel like I already have a good base so its not like I am overworking myself to the point of exhaustion.
Any tips you have I’d love them!
Thank you!

Janae, I had once talked to you about coaching me for the St. George marathon. I no longer have your email or phone number! Could you please email me or call me? I would love to get in touch with you. Thanks so much.

You mentioned in your article that you experienced a back issue requiring surgery. I’m wondering if you would share any insight of doctors who are “runner smart” that could help with my lower back problem and associated leg weakness and numbness – Thank you
Dave,
I didn’t have to have back surgery, but both my husband and I have dealt with lower back pain problems. I would recommend Dr. Steve Scharmann or Dr. Jason Blackham at the McKay Dee Hospital Sports Medicine clinic in Ogden, Utah. They are both runners and very knowledgeable doctors that could help you evaluate your lower back problems.
