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 - SNOW RUN! Really beautiful outside with all the snow. It was a tough run though...there was about 12" around our place and that's a lot of snow for running (East Millcreek won for most snow in the SLC valley and even the mountains)! Jake and I ran together for about 3 miles then I ran back home for a total of 4.6 miles. I had to take a walk break at 3.8 miles because my lower abdomen cramped up on me but made it home. Average pace 9:45 and that took a lot of effort! :) Jake has a lovely picture of me running on his blog. 

Now the drive in to work...that was not fun at all. Seriously, work isn't cancelled unless there are at least 2 FEET of snow? Geez, we got out of school/work if they even mentioned the chance of snow in Tennessee. This should be a day for building snowmen and sledding!!!

I saw all the happy dogs bounding around in the snow this morning and thought of you :) Glad you got out this morning to enjoy it!

From Andrea on Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 08:56:23 from 72.37.171.52

It was fun! But I was only bounding for about 5 minutes, got tired, then resorting to shuffling the rest of the run.

Well done for getting out there this morning. I saw the picture - that takes some serious dedication.

I didn't even feel bad being noisy and waking you up this morning because I knew you'd be so happy when you looked outside :-)

10:04 average pace for me. :) and a 90 minute commute!

From Rachelle on Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 10:14:55 from 199.190.170.29

Sledding! I want to come. :)

Wow! The word dedication comes to mind. It is 70 degrees at the moment in Houston, just thought I'd rub that in there.

You got all the snow! We only ended up with about 1/2 an inch down here in Price. So impressed:)

From NatalieK on Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 14:54:30 from 67.182.200.33

I totally believe that East Millcreek won! I couldn't even pull into my driveway because there was so much snow blocking it this afternoon. I'm so glad you're feeling better.

From DaleG on Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 20:02:57 from 152.216.11.5

We've had WAY more snow than this before and they STILL didn't close anything down. It's crazy.

Nice run

I'm impressed you ran in those conditions. I'm a wuss, I just jumped on the treadmill.
