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 - Met Emily Jameson at the Jordan River Parkway. It was a beautiful morning for a run and great to have some company. We started out at around 7:15 pace for the first 7 miles and then stayed in the 6:50s the rest of the run (7:04 average pace). I was so happy that my feet felt good and I felt comfortable at this faster speed. The run gave me a lot of confidence that I'm on the upswing of my injuries...and since I signed up for the BAA 5K in Boston in a month, I need to get in racing shape!

Anyone interested in an 8-10 mile run tomorrow? Maybe meet at Highland High at 9am (b/c of the time change)?

So happy to hear you had a great run this morning!

Now that you are signed up for the BAA 5K, the US 1/2 champs, and we have plane tickets to Portland - I think your body realized it was time to heal up!

Spike up or stay slow! :-)

It is such a relief! I really don't want anymore setbacks this year - two months was enough for me (although probably a good thing overall to take some time and fully recover from the hard training last year).

I'll have to post a photo of my new bright pink spikes when I get them!

you are so lucky that you are allowed to post photos of your shoes.

super run this morning (i already used great and awesome on my blog, and super is underutilized anyway).

From allie on Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 11:36:24 from 174.23.144.229

also, let me know if you come up with a time/place for tomorrow's run. i could probably handle it...

I run for Saucony and haven't even seen the new models that you already HAVE (I wasn't quick enough checking your blog)! Not fair!

And as Rob Murphy would say, it was a super duper run.

Ha!

I know how frustrating nagging injuries can be. I hope you have turned the corner on this one.

From Tina on Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 11:55:04 from 71.32.205.222

That's awesome! Hooray for faster running and happy feet!

I'll put my signature yeeee-haaaw! to the onslaught of positive comments (with over/under utilized phrases) on this run.

I was running the river with you...just a few miles south - and a LOT slower! :)

From Rachelle on Sat, Mar 10, 2012 at 15:16:54 from 66.7.127.115

Awesome Andrea!! Simply awesome. I am very, very happy for you. :)

I'm glad you're feeling better and ready to roll.
