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 - Went to the Oval with the guys crew this morning. I ran 30 minutes with them on their warm-up then proceeded to do my "speedwork". For now, that just means drills and strides - high knees, butt kicks, skips, karaoke, etc then a few pick-ups. Every once in a while I jumped in on a recovery laps from the guys workout and then ran their cooldown. A fun morning, and I'm guessing I ran about 5.5 miles or so.

PM - Took out the skis and did some skinning/skiing for an hour or so above the Avenues with Amiee. I was glad that I could do this without any pain - I'll be able to do some real backcountry skiing before you know it!

It was good to see you this morning, Andrea. I'm so glad you're starting to feel better. Thanks for shooting a couple pictures--it has inspired me to lay off the chips at work :-)

You guys all looked great out there! Jake said the same thing to me and I just rolled my eyes like I am virtually doing to you right now.

That is such a great picture. Where else in the world can you do something like that right above downtown?

I'm so glad we get to run together a lot again!!

Awe that looks so fun! Glad you got out. And very happy for you that you're up and running again. I know what a good feeling that is!

Beautiful views! It was great to see you running this morning...I'm glad it was pain free.
