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

10.00

AM - 10 MILES! Ran up and around Tanner Park then back home. It was so pleasant outside, and I spent the entire time appreciating the fact that I can enjoy running again. I really do love to run!

PM - 4 mile bike ride with Jake.

My first 40 mile week since the week of July 29, 2012. I'm planning to stay in the 40 mpw range for the next month or so and continue to do short mini-workouts once a week. I have several 5Ks this fall and am hoping that I'll be able to pull off a sub-18 by November.

You're being very smart about everything, and it's paying off. Congrats on the 40 mile week!

Great job Andrea. Great to see you back running consistently. Sub 18!

Good week, Andrea. Things are really building now. Nothing like a 10 miler to make remind you of why you run, too.
