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 - SLCTC Winter Series 10K. I decided to take this as a moderate run because I'm still trying to work out all my kinks. No warm-up so I started out slow and eventually caught up to Preston after a mile or two. He was aiming for 7-7:15 so I stuck with him for the rest of the race. The race went by much faster with him and I had a good time, despite the brutal conditions on the second half of the race. My hamstring became a little overactive at 4.5 miles but was able to keep it under control with some form adjustments. I'm doing a lot better with the two-a-day shorter runs right now, so I'm planning to stick to those for a while longer. It was great to see so many friends today - good job to everyone that ran! The first LDR Circuit race went very well! :)

the awesome flyers you guys made are going to bring out more people than ever before! it was a great start to the circuit and it was nice to get it kicked off earlier in the year.

i'm glad things held up okay for you today. the only thing i remember seeing in the second half of that race was your pink jacket.

Good to see that you make it through the run ok. It won't be too much longer before you are racing these things.

Nice work, Andrea. I also vividly remember seeing your pink jacket during the 2nd half of the race!

Well done Andrea. Great that you were able to run the 10k.

The 4.5 mile mark thing is happening to me too. I stopped running today after 5 miles. I'm going to follow your lead and do two shorter runs a day. After a while, this injury lark gets on your 'nerves':)

Nice run Andrea! Good job at keeping it solid training run. Making great progress; you'll be back to full speed soon!
