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.

Joined in on the VDK family fun and ran the Sawtelle Stampede 5K in Island Park, ID. This was my farthest run to date post-surgery, and I had to be careful to NOT get in the competitive spirit for this race. Amiee and I ran together for the entire race and came in right at 8 min/mile. I felt great until about 2.5 miles, then I could feel the groin area (not bad though). Amiee saved me from potentially destroying myself by running too hard and then being in pain the rest of the day.

I loved this event - lots of patriotism and festiveness :)

Very cool. I'm glad you're able to run longer each week. Before you know it, you'll be racing again. Way to be patient.

SO great to see you back at it Andrea! You are taking recovery seriously and it will pay high dividends!!

Race Report!!! :-)

I like the look of this report. You held it in check, which is smart, and you ran 3.1, which is fantastic.

love seeing the race report. if you are up for another one, i would love a disciplined pacer at draper days. right now my plan is to find a baby to push in one of those baby carts with wheels.

excellent photos of your weekend adventures -- looks like a great time. and so beautiful!

I will happily keep you from running fast during any run! Thanks for helping push me to a huge 5K PR :) I do think you are making some great progress!

Even though this RR does not contain a .GIF, it was the best one of the weekend, congrats!

Allie, I have a baby I can volunteer. Andrea, way to go on the recovery. Have faith. It's coming!

Yay! Great job Andrea.
