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.

How do people run fast on slippery/slushy roads? I can't even seem to walk on them!

Well, I found an area where it was 85% clear roads and 15% slippery...so I ran fast on the clear roads and tip-toed through the slippery sections. The road to get out of our neighborhood is awful though, can't do much but just slow jog.

You are incredibly brave to do a tempo in this weather. Great work Andrea!

I'm guessing I probably made the right call by avoiding the tempo loop at 5:30am.

Smokin' a J at the 7-11 was more fun anyways.

That comment was so off kilter, I wonder if you really did smoke a J.
