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 - Legs needed an easy day, so this run was more about time on my feet for a medium-long run of 10 miles. My running felt "off" - stride didn't feel smooth, ground felt too hard, just one of those days. 7:50 pace.

On a positive note, I haven't had five days in a row of 10+ miles in a long time - I'm just glad that the increased mileage isn't having much of an effect on my back (probably steady at 85%). Stretching and abs every day is working! I am also a firm believer in the exercise ball at work now too. Going to take the rest of the day off.

 PM - Okay, I know I said I was going to take the rest of the day off, but I ate a bunch of junk today and also wanted to be outside for a little bit. So I just ran 2 miles easy!

Very nice mileage Andrea! Increased mileage usually leads to one of those "off" feeling days every once in awhile. Still a great pace for an easy run.

Nice miles:) I do know what you mean about the junk food. Lately I feel like I need a pm run everyday! Too bad I can't break away that often.
