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.

Hello there!

Hi :) I really just made my blog public again b/c I've had a few people asking me about races...I don't think I'm going to post again until I know I can RUN. My target date is March 10th - that will be 6 months out from surgery. But honestly, this rehab is on a time schedule all of its own - and it's wayyy too slow. At least there's been progress, and I feel like there's a chance for running again. We'll see...

I've been meaning to ask/Tweet, but figured you got the question a lot.

Plenty of people coming back from injury (Riley, Dave, Scott). Admittedly not as long, but some good sources from which to draw inspiration and hope I think.

You just show up here and start blogging?

It's Andrea!

How about a CROWBAR race report!??

Run or no run, glad to see you up here!!! And I'll be checking back in around March 10, to see where you are at!

We know you're running. Where am I supposed to make my encouraging comments?

From Andrea on Thu, Apr 23, 2015 at 17:43:00 from 98.202.128.218

I have debated whether or not to start blogging or not. I'm trying to take it slowly with the mileage and am trying to keep my motivation as low as possible. The blog makes too motivated and will make me want to run too much too soon. Maybe soon...but things are definitely looking positive :)

Ha! That does make sense. You're off the hook....for now.
