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.

4.3 miles around the tempo loop. Saw Teddy the golden doodle! Everything felt right this morning and my 7:52 pace showed for it - first time (in a long time) beating the 8 min guy!

Wow that's great! I miss Teddy :( Good thing I am picking out Stoke1 and Stoke2 this weekend!

Stoke1 and Stoke2 are allowed in the San Juans, by the way.

Check out the cute little guy we met when we climbed Mt Sneffels in 2010:

Oh my gosh in a backpack - cutest thing I have ever seen! What way are we taking up there btw?

From Jake K on Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 08:34:23 from 67.177.11.154

SW ridge from Blue Lakes Pass. Its the most fun. There is a supposed "easier" route up one of the couloirs but its all loose scree (which I HATE) and its not fun unless its all snow. SW ridge has cool photo ops.

I'm having trouble reconciling images 12 and 13 in the link. Is that some sort of magical backpack?

Good running, Andrea.

Magical in the sense that a cute puppy lives in the back.

It was just a regular pack, and he put the dog inside it. Whatever works!

I remember it being quite a challenge to squeeze that little guy in the pack...

what kind of creatures are stoke1 and stoke2? cuz james is allergic to iguanas and moth larvae.

great run, andrea! i am curious if the 8 min guy exploded or if it just fell off on to the road? we never actually tested that.

From Andrea on Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 09:17:25 from 72.37.171.52

Well, today I intentionally went by Teddy's house to distract the 8 min guy with cuteness. Worked like a charm.

I can't even figure out what anyone is talking about. Hehe

Nice week, Andrea! I'm so happy it's gradually happening for you!

Way to take down that 8 minute guy! You are definitely going to have a fast comeback!
