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.

I feel like I went from being a really good runner to a really bad hobby jogger in the past 72 hours!

The running pic is back! Great picture. I always feel so old in morning, I hate that! Are you feeling "good" aches and pains?

From Rob on Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 09:24:20 from 206.71.84.68

Sounds like you two need to take up skiing! Or shuffleboard!

From Carina on Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 09:50:45 from 204.15.86.83

That picture really is amazing!! Love it! I totally know how you feel, and I've got 7 years on you!!!!

When you finally get all healed up, which you WILL eventually...you are going to be a fierce runner/competitor with all this built up frustration :) Hope to see you back at your potential soon!

I can completely relate. But I also agree with everything Lindsey said.

Maybe you can dress as an old lady tomorrow? I'll borrow some of my grandmas cascade blues and bengay for you. :)

Thanks guys.

Tara - good, bad, I have no idea. PT this afternoon for pain session and Teena is going to check me out on Sunday.

Lindsey - I can't wait to get back out there. Congrats to your team at State on Wednesday!! I bet you're so proud of them.

If you feel like 50 and you're only 25, and being fit like you are, then I feel like I'm 72 and not 42. lol. In a few months I'll be fit and maybe, just maybe I'll feel closer to my age.

Hang in there, Andrea.
