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 - JAFA Run, typical loops. Missed James - hope he gets better soon. Fritz was afraid to run in front because of my poor directional cues (I need to be more like JulieC!) and he apparently wasn't looking for extra hip and lateral motion workout this morning.

PM - Rode on the mountain bike to meet up with Jake on his run home, 55 minutes. So nice to ride outside!

In case you're interested in TMI from me, here's the interview I did on Hungry Runner Girl's blog (which is also the only reason I'm winning on the FRB monthly people stats, clearly not because of my stellar workouts :) ).

great interview -- some good stuff in there for everyone. i loved reading through the comments...you inspire a lot of people.

i noticed the extreme jump in both you and jake's quantcast numbers. :)

you should see how much the traffic to our wasatch blog has gone up thanks to hungry runner girl. she is probably #2 on the internet after google

I really liked your interview Andrea.

JulieC does not stop for anyone!! She just waves her arms like a cheerleader to direct traffic. Just watch Bring it on and practice the spirit fingers and you can direct traffic just as good as her. :)

Hahaha only Julie has to watch Bring it On to get dialed in for a recovery run! :-)

The first thing I noticed when I got here was your quantcast number haha!

It was a good read. And did someone say hungry runner? Sheeesh they must have been talking about me because my appetite is on the fritz lately! I really think it's from getting outside! :)

Loved the interview Andrea! Glad you got a good run in this morning, it sure was a nice day!

Great interview Andrea! It almost makes me want to train seriously :)

That was fun to read! That was nice of you to comment back to the others. I learned some things and gained some reminders from your interview. And guess what....I am friends on FB with Deena Kastor. Yes, me and 4,000 others:) You might want to be my friend to get in good with her;)
