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.

So sorry to hear that Andrea. Hope you will be back and healthy soon.

Wish you the best, Andrea.

I'm so sorry to hear this Andrea! I've been following you for awhile, hoping that you could get over this injury. I really hope you have a quick recovery! Best of luck!

Dang, hope there wasn't a big setback.

Look forward to seeing you train like the old Andrea...hopefully soon!

Sorry, Andrea. I'm always pulling for you.

Just thought - where's Andrea? So hard to watch you struggle and not do what you love doing. Reading your 3-30 comment thread was the most emotional I've felt reading this blog.

:( So sorry Andrea.

Sorry to hear that Andrea, I was at that point myself and have been struggling with the same injury off and on for years. Don't give up on finding a solution though.

So sorry to hear this, Andrea. You've been doing all the right things for so long. For what it's worth, your courage and bravery through your injury has helped me suck it up during my span of injuries. I am very grateful for that. I hope you will find peace until things turn back around.

Came back hoping to see something. Hope your doing okay.
