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

8.80

AM - Met up with Allie this morning for a nice 7.3 miles around Sugarhouse area. Hopefully she didn't hate it and will run with me again next week!!

PM - 1.5 miles on the grass in Sugarhouse. Was planning to do some 200s, but after two pathetic ones I realized that the legs didn't have it in them and stopped. Definitely for the better - I've done a lot this week.

On a side note, I made it to the gas station with only 2 miles left on my car's gas meter today (very nerve-racking situation). I am notorious for taking the fuel tank way lower than I ever should, not really sure why except that I hate putting gas in my car. Anyway, it always makes me think of my first date with Jake. It was after a soccer game, and when we got in my car I had one mile to go with the closest gas station at about a mile from us. Made it, luckily, but I'm pretty sure that first impression is what made Jake fall in love with me :o)

I totally do the SAME thing with gas tanks. I do the same thing to my body too. A parallel there. : D. I have many stories of "almost" not making it into town or coasting into a gas station. Don't know why either. GREAT MILEAGE THIS WEEK ANDREA!!! Good luck Saturday!!
