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 - 4.8 miles, extended horsepark loop. Ran 1 mile slightly uphill in 6:04.

I need to figure out a workout plan for the next few weeks before TOU Half. Since I'm still not comfortable with track intervals and my usual training routine b/c I don't want to take any risks with my hamstring, I'm thinking about trying some new stuff - hill repeats, cross training workouts, tempo runs on rolling terrain...My motivation seems to be up and down lately so maybe mixing it up will keep me engaged.

FYI - Salt Lake Running Company is showing the Unbreakable movie this Friday at 7pm if anyone is interested. I have heard that it is really good!

PM - 5 miles around Sugarhouse park with Jake.

That is one of my favorite books ever! You will have to let me know how the movie is.

I am excited to see what "new stuff" workouts you come up with!! :)

Have you ever done plyometrics? Could be fun to change things up.

Unbreakable is really good and I heard that Tony K. is actually going to be there as well. I wish I could make it.

mmmmm hummm, tracks are scary! Btw, when I see you again, I need to show you a few stretches that have changed some things for my hammy/hip alighnment...or we can skype or something. Maybe you do them anyway. Have you had a Kenetic Chain evaluation?

From Andrea on Mon, Jul 30, 2012 at 18:30:50 from 67.177.11.154

Tara - no I haven't had one. Probably should though, huh? Are you making progress?!

I like Uphill repeats. They have been kind to my hamstring when it was tweaked a couple months back. I do 8-10 repeats all out, which isn't really that fast on a 7-10 percent grade. I can tell it has helped build strength without beating me up too badly. I think Steve Anderson mentioned hill training in his Utah running interview too. You'll figure something out! I hope your hammy starts to feel better soon.
