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.

Started off the day not feeling great, so I went on a very short walk then to work. Felt better as the day went on - just a little achy. Ice is pretty much my savior right now.

I'm starting to get worried about this glute and hamstring pain again...it feels about the same as prior to surgery. I really hope it'll get better as the abdominals are healing. If it's not associated with the athletic pubalgia, then I have no idea what's wrong. I have to keep telling myself - it's only been 2 weeks since the surgery, and I can't expect all my problems the last 9 months to just disappear.

This is true. Can you put a little heat on it?

patience is so hard, Andrea. Good you could clear your head with a walk!

Patience is incredibly difficult. you are really doing well so soon post-surgery! Hang in there.

It is still so early in your healing process. While after my surgery I was able to run, I didn't feel "normal" (twinges, weird pains etc) for a good four months. You had major surgery! I understand your paranoia though and hope you continue to heal and get strong.
