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.

10 miles around Sugarhouse. I started with the big group then decided to split off with Allie and Collin to run a more comfortable pace. Allie almost caught a leaf. Brunch was fun afterwards.

This was a great week for me - definitely my best since I got injured. I ran 46 miles with two 10 milers, a tempo run, and a track workout. I have three 5ks left that are spaced every other weekend so I'm planning to alternate harder weeks and lighter weeks. I anticipate around 30-35 miles for this next week and am running the Indy 5k on Saturday.

Yay for the best week since injury! Yay, yay, and more yay!

Great week - the 5k sounds fun. Nice (I'm assuming) flat sea level-ish race should be a good test for you.

From Andrea on Sun, Oct 27, 2013 at 14:20:45 from 67.177.11.154

Thanks! I'm not expecting much improvement from the 5k last weekend but the sea level should give me 10 seconds or so :)

Great week, Andrea! You and the other western "mountain" people are going to dominate the sea level racing!

Great week! Good luck on the 5k(s)!

Excellent week Andrea - good mix of workouts and you seemed to have tolerated the week well.

Indy is a fun city. Have fun there enjoying the weekend. You're looking great.
