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 - 3.2 miles. I wore my racing flats because they make me have better form. It's hard not to run fast in those shoes - picked it up for a slight uphill mile at 6:35.

PM - 1.8 miles at Sugarhouse. 

Interesting Article - What (and When) Elite Runners Eat. Pretty much what I expected...

I love wearing flats for that reason; it's probably all mental, but whatever works! Nice run, good to see the progress.

You gotta get a couple more runs in the FT6 before they are released to the masses! Good finish to that run :-)

I actually wore the "old" FT 5s...gotta save the even lighter, faster for races!

Nice run Andrea! Interesting article, I have never been a big breakfast eater so that has definitely been something I've had to pay attention to with increased training.

Are you guys coming down to Lehi for the run tomorrow?
