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 - !!!!!! After a good run yesterday, I couldn't help but join Emily B, Devra, and Allie for a run this morning. My foot was not painful at all throughout the run!! We were close to my house at 7 miles and the girls helped me make a smart decision to not do too much too early. I cut off from them and headed home. Average 7 min mile pace. So happy to run :o)

Nice run! You guys are so fast. I'm glad you played it safe and cut it short.

Great work, so nice to have friends to help us not do something we'll regret!

i'm so glad you were able to join us this morning, especially on foot and not on your bike! your patience paid off. you were smart to cut off while you were still feeling good.

wind. brrrr!

I think a couple 6:50 miles were quite a shock to the system after not running for two weeks! Those 3 are definitely in better running shape than me right now.

Glad your foot is feeling better. I'll bet in the long run the forced rest will do you good.

Yay!!! I missed your post yesterday and am so happy you are able to run. Especially happy to hear it was pain free and blazing fast from what it sounds.

Very, very happy for you Andrea!

YAY for running! I get to start doing some of that for myself in 2 weeks :) I have a sweet new pool running kick board routine down, but it doesn't sound like you are going to need any more pool action.

From Russ on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 17:42:55 from 24.72.198.228

Good news! Glad your foot is feeling better.

Pain free is awesome news, you handled the injuries very wisely and it paid off.

That is an impressive speed especially with your comeback. Did you end up seeing that specialist?
