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.

Day 16 post surgery and I feel very similar to my pre surgery injury most of the time. Now is the real test...will I keep improving? I hope so! Heading to Portland this weekend for a wedding...my dancing skills may be compromised, but I'll be dancing next to Jake so I don't think anyone will notice.

Ann and I both agreed that that was funny.

Maybe he could do some strides? I know that's what I would do. Running is as concerted a bodily effort as I can muster :). Have fun!

Hang in there, Andrea. I'll bet you'll continue to improve! You're only 2 weeks post-op. I'm sure pulling for you. Have fun in Oregon.
