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 - 30 minutes cycling.

PM - Afternoon stroll with the marathon extraordinaires...even their walking strides were far superior.

I thought this was interesting...I might have to start incorporating the Toddler Squat into my routine - My Favorite Mobility / Corrective Exercise - The Toddler Squat.

That article is amazing. I ALWAYS do that after a long run! I never knew quite why it helped, just that it felt like a good stretch after a long run, because it stretched everything I needed it to in one motion. Like they say...the opposite of everything I'd been doing. Glad my instincts didn't prove me wrong...this time.

I am a slow walker too. I would have joined you :)

Andrea, that is awesome that you posted that about the toddler squat and I am glad you shared that article. I love doing the toddler squat against my fitness ball after long(er) runs. I notice a huge difference in how it loosens up my knees.
