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

0.00

AM - 20 minutes on the elliptical. Put the incline as low as it would go (to not irritate the hip or hamstring) and a moderate resistance...I learned that it is actually just as hard to have the incline low because you have less body weight working for you. Never really thought about that before. The elliptical felt decent, much better than running in terms of the glute pain but a little more effort on the front of my hip. I think it's a good alternative for now, as long as I keep it super easy.

Yoga for 50 minutes. Tried a new one today - the P90X version. I thought it was good - a lot of work with the hips. Mine are obviously weak so they fatigued quickly. Will probably only do this one once a week so I don't totally overwhelm the area (and it gets so boring!).

Good idea for the morning. That's a LONG yoga session!

Great job Andrea! 50 minutes of Yoga sounds awful. Next time I will join you and you can laugh at my total lack of coordination the entire time.

Laughing = great core workout! :)

Any amount of yoga is tough. lol. My wife does the Bikram Yoga for 90 minutes and 110 degrees in the room. I tried it once and crawled out of the room after 20 minutes.
