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.

Felt the effects of yesterday. I managed to work until 3pm before going home and laying in bed for a few hours. The lower abdomen/groin starts to feel crampy and I get shooting pains to my back -  that's when it becomes too much. I went back out for a fun girls dinner, laughed too much, and started hurting quite a bit again. That part was worth it though :) I need to take it easier...it's just that life's getting in the way.

i'm sorry. you can blame london for the laughing :) i hope you aren't in too much pain today.

Oh I see you went out 2 nights in a row!!! Got to party hard when Jake's out of town :)

From Andrea on Wed, May 22, 2013 at 11:35:00 from 72.37.171.52

No, I blame this on work. I should just quit - it's the cool thing to do these days, right?

The girls dinner sounds fun and totally worth it. Hope your feeling better today.

if you quit, i will hire you as my quitting coach.

Think two nights out in a row is tough? Try three. I'm destroyed! Luckily I can play the "Guinness is illegal in utah so I'll stick w/ the weakest sauce possible" card.

Quitting works Allie, once you are a free agent, you'll probably just get picked up by Sketchers. Win win.

From allie on Wed, May 22, 2013 at 14:20:56 from 161.38.221.168

i just emailed my resume to skechers. i attached glossy head shots of me eating nature valley bars.

From Jake K on Wed, May 22, 2013 at 14:25:08 from 65.122.15.178

Can you please try to get sponsored by nature valley? Just ask them to make you a singlet. With a granola pocket.

From allie on Wed, May 22, 2013 at 14:29:31 from 161.38.221.168

i got rejected by nature valley because i sent them photos of my head glued to 14 different sammy sosa poses.

So weird! That's the exact strategy that got me IN the door with Saucony. In fact, they liked it so much that we spent 20% of the sales meeting figuring out how to incorporate similar Pinterest pages into the 2014 marketing plan. Molly Huddle's shots came out great.

I thought I gave you strict instructions NOT to laugh, go to the bathroom, try to sit up, cough, sneeze, shift your position...

I am so glad you are feeling better and up to partying!
