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.

Total Distance

3.10

AM - Jogged around the block. Probably not a great idea but mentally needed it. I'm mostly just discouraged that taking time off isn't helping and I'm starting to lose my fitness now. The hip pain is pretty bad unless I take ibuprofen every 4-5 hours. I still feel it all the time.

Had a fun weekend with Jake and his family up in Heber this past weekend...they were nice enough to find activities that were minimal exercise, like rafting and shooting (?!).

I'm sorry to hear that, Andrea. It always really sucks when you don't have a plan. Whatever you do, don't try to figure out your racewalking ability.

Shooting is definitely a good way to get out some of those frustrations. Not sure what your doctor said but naproxen (Aleve) needs less doses and at least for me is easier in the stomach.

I am SO sorry! Injuries are so awful - and it sounds like this one is making it impossible for you to even cross train. Are you getting an MRI? Hang in there. I'm thinking about you :)
