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.

Walked 0.5 mile in the morning, 0.5 at lunch, then 1.5 in the evening. Today the TFL was definitely trying to take some of the load off the injury area as I was walking...it seems to shift from the TFL to the glute medius to one of the deep glute muscles and down my leg in what feels like pseudo-sciatica. As soon as one of these start acting up, I try to stop as soon as I can to prevent the dysfunction from continuing. These are really what are holding me back...I gotta get everything working right again before I can really do any real exercise. My legs have turned to mush where all the muscles used to be - yuck.

Hang in there Andrea. Did you get the puppy yet?

From Andrea on Wed, Jun 05, 2013 at 09:12:49 from 72.37.171.52

Well, I wouldn't call her a puppy (even though I still do)...she's a 16 year-old german shorthair. Jake is picking her up today! I'm so excited :)

I want to see pics of the puppy :)

I had a twinge in my psoas and glute today. Thought of you automatically. I hate weird pain! I get it on and off

16?!? I hope Jake isn't expecting to put her on his training plan. He'll give her a heart attack :(

From Andrea on Wed, Jun 05, 2013 at 09:31:04 from 72.37.171.52

No worries, she's on my senior citizen training program!

From Lulu Walls on Wed, Jun 05, 2013 at 09:35:06 from 155.98.164.38

Ha! So she will fit in perfectly with the two of us :)

So exciting. :) I can't wait to see pictures.

Lacey is a sweet old girl. She's asleep on the living room floor right now.

She's pretty chunky, and has a bad leg, but we'll get her fixed up.

Some admittedly terrible iphone photos...

She's like part GSP, part baby cow
