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.

Hope you're feeling better Andrea, seriously.

it was great running with you today. things really went downhill for me after you left -- when i heard the word starbucks i immediately went into crash mode and started thinking about a giant frothy chai.

long live febuwarm!

Climbing wins!

Just give your hands a recovery day and they'll be fine.

Climbing sounds fun. Although I was climbing my tree to put up Christmas lights back in December, and it was mostly terrifying. I guess I'm not 9 anymore.

Spencer - thanks for the concern. I'm doing a little better, but there are so many ups and downs that it's hard to know. I've been doing the stretches you recommended me...but I can do it too much or for very long bc my pelvis gets misaligned super easily right now.

Allie - you are welcome to join the 3-5 mile plan....guaranteed no crashes!

Matt and Joe - I really enjoyed the climbing. I'll admit that both jake and myself got a little anxious at the heights but it was a great all around workout! The kids at the gym were fearless and I have so much more appreciation for the really good climbers!
