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.

AM - 6 miles 8:50 pace. That was about as fast as my legs would let me go this morning. Tempo run last night took all the speed out of them. I couldn't sleep past 4:30am (I never sleep well after hard workouts at night), so it will be a struggle not to fall asleep at work today.

Jake did a short video for fun last night of me running. If you look closely, you can tell that my left leg (with injured hamstring tendon) doesn't swing back nearly as far as the right leg. That's probably one of the reasons that it got hurt. Gotta work on that!

We're doing a long run at Jordan River Parkway again tomorrow (3300S). It will be casual - 7:15-7:30 pace. The plan is to do a 12 mile out-and-back headed south and then an 8 mile out-and-back headed north on the trail. Start at 8am.

I was dancing to the song. :)

Strange about that left leg. How are you supposed to fix that? Hope that hammie gets better!

That was a fun Video! It got me pumped! I hope the Hammy will stay good for you.

Great Video! Andrea I didn't notice anything wrong with the swing back of the left leg. Stride looked great!

Love the video! That was awesome. I'm such a nerd, because I could sit and watch people run like that all day - I know for some it is like watching paint dry, but man I enjoy it. I could see that the R seems to come up higher than the L in the back of the stride, but is that due to the injury now or the cause? That would be my question. Either way, you have a really nice running stride! Keep that hammy happy!

Cool video! I should have watched that before my run today.

Nice video. I loved the theme song. Andrea, you can do this. You looked so solid and strong!

I couldn't hear the music, so I'll have to watch it again when I get home. But you look awesome when your run. Like a superhero.

We need to get her a cape! And that will help her stay warm, too.

From DaleG on Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 21:38:12 from 152.216.11.5

Awesome video. I always feel like my stride looks like that, but it's not anywhere near that.
