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 - 45 min elliptical and 30 min yoga. My feet feel 60% better than Tuesday (!!!) so I think I'm going to take today off from running and see if that will help even more. I'm also going to exercise on the elliptical more over the bike since it doesn't hurt my feet anymore and feels better for my back. Can't say there is any improvement with back pain, but we'll take one injury at a time. I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually kind of enjoying the yoga :o).

PM - Met Lulu and Tina (new to Utah and on the blog!) for spin class. I was cycling for 30 min and then my bike broke so I went downstairs and rode on the recumbent bike for 15 more minutes. Fun chatting with the girls afterwards for a while.

Yay for 60% better. Yoga rules (but only the mellow kind). Spinning tonight?

Lulu - Yes I'm in! I'll probably get there a little early to make sure there's a spot and warm-up. See you tonight!

How early should I be there to get a spot?

From Andrea on Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 09:30:17 from 72.37.244.100

5-10 min. I don't think the 5:30 class is a big problem...the later classes are. I just sign in at the front when I come in.

Sounds like a great plan to me. I hate to admit how much difference a day off can make!

So glad to hear you are feeling better. :)

So, I am guessing there were not empty bikes in class? That is a bummer, I fear that! It happened to the girl next to me on Monday only 5 minutes into class and all I could think was, "Thank heavens I did not pick that bike!" I kept think some gallant man would give up their bike for her, but NOPE!

YOGA rules.

Hope things get back to feeling good very soon. All I can say is that you are seriously one tough woman.

Next time I get the bike that breaks down halfway through class! You seriously should have taken mine. That is the hardest I've worked in 3 months and I am already sore.
