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.

Caught some sort of stomach virus yesterday and was miserable all night. Lots of pain and throwing up...so I took a sick day and slept until 10:30am. Feeling about 70% now. Hopefully this is just a 24 hour bug and I'll be good to go for the weekend.

PM - Went out to meet Jake on his way home from work. Ran 4.6 miles then proceeded to curl up in a ball for the next 15 minutes and pout about feeling terrible.

Jake put up a bunch of great posts from our vacation on Wasatch and Beyond.

Good luck with the stomach bug. Hope it ends quick...usually does. Everyone in the household must get it though - it's a rule - so hope Jake is ready!

I won't get sick. I'll wear a mask if I have to!

That is going to great lengths to get a day off...Sorry you aren't feeling well.

Yuck! I am so sorry Andrea that is the absolute worst.

I hope you get feeling better soon.

Sorry about the bug, my baby got that on the 4th and slept for two days.

Boo to stomach bugs. I can't believe you managed to get some mikes in. I hope you feel better soon.

I love the new pics you guys put up! The action jump shots are great!

Curling up in a ball is always effective. Hope you feel better.

Loving the jump shots!

Hope you feel better soon.
