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 miles in the afternoon. My groin is irritated a bit - a little more sore than yesterday. I should've worn my compression tights because it eases the jarring. I don't think the weekend set me back too much...I'll have to take a couple more easy days to recover then should be good to go. I only ended up with 30 miles for this past week, but that's how it goes sometimes. Honestly, I'm loving this relaxed version of training and think it's important for everyone to do it every once in a while. No stress about missing a few miles!

I had such a great wedding weekend with my family. In case you love wedding photos.....I have a new sister!

That is a gigantic wedding party. I'm glad they let you lay down to rest your psoas.

Funny how the love of running can end up bringing stress (and defeating the enjoyability of it) because you're not "doing enough"...

Lovely wedding photos. Both you and the bride look stunning!

Fun pictures. You look beautiful Andrea and you are as tall as your brother. :) I hope you enjoyed your time with the family and I'm glad you survived the high heels.

So pretty. Glad you were able to sneak in some running while getting family time.

Just getting caught back up on your blog. I love your runner's arms in these photos! Looks like it was a great wedding!
