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

15.50

AM - Took a trip down to Utah County. Ran with Rachelle, JulieC, Cam, Allie, James, and Jake. Turned out to be much better weather down there than in Salt Lake - warm and cloudy. It was really great to meet a few more people from the blog...I just wish they lived closer so we could run together more often! The run was nice and flat, and we ran 15.5 at 7:45 pace. I am still a little weak/pathetic from being sick and had quite a bit of back pain today so definitely wasn't feeling great. I wouldn't have gone so far today alone (by a long shot), so it's good that there wasn't a chance to get back to the car before the 15.5 mile mark :o)

I know you guys are big people but I was worried when I lost you at that turn to show you back to the freeway. Hope you didn't go on forever on state street. I think I mentioned to Jake to turn left when you saw the mall. Hope you found a better place to stop for some food!! : D. Thank you for coming down with us. I felt a lot of strength running with this group. PS I posted an invitation for a February run. If snow gets better for you big skiers we can always run it in March so you can hit the slopes instead :D.

Thank you so much for coming down Andrea. I really enjoyed running with you. I am going to be up in your neck of the woods next weekend so hopefully we can run together again. :)
