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 - Another horsepark loop. I know I'm getting totally boring, but I'm still on downtime and this loop is my comfort run. Big dog crews today - 2 people and 9 dogs! It appeared that one of them just got a baby German Shepherd to add to their group. So cute. 

I can't believe it's not Friday yet...this week is dragging! I definitely live for the weekends. 

Also, I have a pair of green Saucony Hurricane 13 in womens size 10 (I know, big foot). They are a little too much support for me and I have plenty of other shoes to keep my occupied...so if anyone is interested and wants them, let me know. They have been worn once, maybe twice.

German Shepards are awesome... until they weight more than me. Its a shame they can't stay puppy sized forever.

This week IS totally dragging. Ugh.

Can I cut them in half :)

I think we need to plan some mid-week adventures to help get through the week - ughhh!

Can't we all just get the summers off? It's really quite cruel to keep people inside all day!

From Lulu Walls on Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 10:08:30 from 155.100.212.98

Agreed! Every summer I start looking into going back to school to become a teacher. But then I realize I would have be a teacher the rest of the year :(

I agree that this week is totally dragging. Working in the Summer should be illegal or something.

Lulu I will share the shoes with you. I'd have to cut them in half too. I'm pretty convinced that Andrea's long feet are the secret to her success. :-)

Nice job, Andrea.

Hey, I think those shoes will fit Amy and she wears Saucony, so we will take those shoes off your hands. How much do you want for them?

From Andrea on Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 10:50:12 from 72.37.244.100

Dale - check with her about the shoes and PM me if they will work. I don't want anything for them...just thought another runner might benefit.

Ok, I'll ask her and let you know. Thanks.
