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 - Midday Christmas run, 4 miles and felt awesome. Averaged 7:30 pace with no pain! I still don't feel smooth when I'm running, but it's getting better. 

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!! :)

I don't know... I'm trying to picture you with a beard and a mustache along with about a hundred extra pounds.

Merry Christmas.

Oh yeah, great job on the run!

It's crazy, my family think I'm nuts for running b/c that's how I got hurt...they don't seem to understand that I basically took off for 4 months already and it was obviously not working and now I'm getting better BY RUNNING. Then everyone starts talking about their high cholesterol and I say "because you don't exercise!!!". It's an endless battle.

True. I've mostly given up trying to explain this activity to the unwashed masses. They'll never get it.

They're probably glad I'm not there... As person responsible for getting you hurt w/ our unhealthy lifestyle :-)

Great to hear on the run. I hope this is finally it. 20-25 for the week would be great.

leaving for our run this morning: "oh gosh, you are going running are you? it's just rubbish out there with all the rain."

upon our return: "the two loonies are back." :)

merry christmas, andrea. glad you had a great run today.

Yay for a pain free run for Christmas. :) So so happy for you Andrea and you have a pretty great looking family. ;)

You look a lot like your Mom I think.
