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.

Total Distance

8.20

AM - Easy 3.1 miles around the block. Hamstring felt a little irritated again.

PM - 5.1 miles with Devra on the roads. Hard to run at 2pm in the summertime!

I got roped into doing a cross country 5K tomorrow morning as part of the Corporate Games for work. I would rather do a long run tomorrow, but I'm kinda the advocate for running at work so I feel like it's important for me to participate. It'll be fun, I just can't run fast and risk irritating any injuries right now! Anyone else doing this event?

I seem to have the same problem with getting roped into things. I have a 5k scheduled the next two weekends. Both charity events which is great but sacrificing the normal Sat LR is hard!

Goodluck tomorrow and please borrow Jakes flag shorts for the race in honor of the olympics. :)

Teren is running for L3. I doubt you will have any competition whatsoever. You could probably incorporate the race into your long run. Teren has done that before.

Andrea vs Teren should be a great showdown!

Sorry babe, but my $$$ is on Teren. I think he can probably outkick you w/ the bum hamstring :-)

Not this year, but I've run it years ago at the Cottonwood Complex. It was fun and something different . And I'm sure you'll win it easily (women) probably 2nd overall behind Teren.
