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.

Midday run with Jake, Rob, Allie, Kevin, and Collin. The sun was shining so the frigid temps didn't seem too bad. The crew was nice enough to do loops close to the cars so I wouldn't get in over my head, but I made it to 7 miles for the second week in a row. Besides some soreness/fatigue from running and skiing yesterday, I felt good the whole time.

Plan for this next week is very similar to last - about 30 miles total with a tempo, strides + drills, and a longer run. Goal is to have even less pain throughout the day and feel stronger.

Great stuff Andrea. So pleased that you're feeling better and able to run without too much discomfort. Good too that you were able to run 7 miles again:)

Yep, this is great to see. Good luck this next week with the mileage bump.
