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.

Total Distance

4.00

AM - 4 miles around the neighborhood. There's only a half mile stretch that is even close to flat so I've been going back and forth on it every day. Ran the last two in 7:10, 7:07 - I hope I don't regret that later but it felt so good to run a little faster.

Great job Andrea. Enjoy your last few days away from Antartica!

Wow...back in the 7's! That's great to see.

Great stuff, Andrea, stick at it. It's amazing that you can drop in a couple of low 7's after so long without being able to run. Testament to your dedication, dilegence and discipline during (no more d's) your injury - an inspiration.

Seems like for some injuries, the faster you run the better, maybe this is one of those. Good run, and good week - 25 miles!

Thanks everyone...not feeling bad yet! I've got a long way to go, but if I can just run 4 miles every day for a while I'll be pretty happy! I really don't feel too out of shape, which is surprising based on my lack of running for months.
