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.

Lunch - 4.7 miles in 33 minutes on the Alter-G Treadmill at 80%. Went back and forth between 6:40 and 7 min pace in an attempt to keep things interesting since I forgot to charge my ipod. Felt pretty good today.

Nice job with the training Andrea. You have been really smart using the AGT. Did you ever get a definitive diagnosis on the injury?

Nope never a true diagnosis....I have my theory though. Weak glute muscles caused my distal hamstring to be overactive which put extra strain on my psoas. With all three of those problems, the surrounding muscles went into protection mode and caused a lot of pain.

I'm definitely not better yet...if I go more than three days without my PT doing some very specific targeted stretching, the pain comes back. It is gradually getting better though. I anticipate being pain free in two months.
