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.

I spent the morning cheering on the Des News Marathon/Half/10K runners. I watched a very exciting (and fast!) race in the 10K then headed up to Wasatch Blvd to cheer on the marathoners. I ended up running 3 miles along the course at 6:30 pace. Pretty happy to manage that pace but it was hard! Progress from last week's 5K!

Shout out to Jake who had a solid kick this morning and huge shout out to ALLIE who ran an awesome marathon this morning :) Pics from the races here.

Now off to Jackson for the long weekend!!

That is an awesome tempo! Wow, you are coming back super fast. It was great seeing you this morning. I am so happy that you are able to run again.

Cops + donuts is classic! Love the lifestyle shots :)

I can't wait for next year when I am the only photographer/cheerleader on the course :)

So glad you are running! You took some great pictures today! Soon enough, you will be the runner being photographed.

That is AWESOME Andrea!!! Seriously, very cool. :)

Also, thank you for commenting on Sophia's blog. She LOVES it when you and Jake take the time to do that. It is truly appreciated. :)

Congrats on the progress. Enjoy your vaca! :)

james and i were laughing at the cops/donuts pic as well. really fun photos capturing so many runners and all the des news excitement. my grandmother thanks you for the finish line shots. :)

thank you for being so awesome and encouraging yesterday. wasatch blvd has never gone by so quickly or so smoothly. your presence helped me to relax and stop worrying about all the little things i had been obsessing over throughout the race. i really think this would have been my breaking point if you hadn't been there. everyone needs an andrea during a marathon!

also, you forgot to mention your phone convo with amiee while running at 6:30 pace -- that was very impressive.

i am so excited about your continued progress on your comeback journey -- can't wait to get those training runs in with you again.

Awesome, awesome 3 mile run! Wow! You are already getting those legs back. It's going to start snowballing, get ready for some real fun!!
