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.

AM - The last few days I've had a lot of ups and downs with injury pain so I wasn't sure if I was going to jog this or use it as a tempo run. I felt pretty good on the 2-mile warm-up with Allie and James. So tempo it was! Ran a pretty consistent 6:16 pace throughout. No problems with my hip and only a little fatigue towards the end. I think the fastest I could run with my current fitness is high 18s...not too bad. A great workout! I did not cool down at all because the race was enough stress.

Lulu was nice enough to take some photos. Here are more pics of the race.

Nice job, Andrea. I saw you fly past me as I was a half mile from the turn around.

Nice going, you ran just as you planned.

From Matt Poulsen on Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 15:51:46 from 98.202.242.213

Great job Andrea! I'll bet it was wonderful to be in a race again, even though you used it as a workout.

From Jake K on Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 16:31:47 from 107.16.130.217

Progress! Nice even pacing. You're getting there...

Look at you already getting in a great even pace girly! Super proud of you. Take it easy tomorrow.

Awesome! You are so smart to use it as a tempo and it is so good to see you racing again. :-)

Love how happy you look in your photo:) Even though you were not 'racing' I bet it felt wonderful to be able to be out there again.

Welcome back to the races. I am glad it went well.

I am sure it felt nice to race, Andrea. I can tell because you are smiling a good deal :) Good to see.

Nice tempo effort. You'll be back to full strength soon enough.

Yep, I agree with Riley the chef, you're building nicely and soon enough, you'll be back to your super-duper self.

From Adam RW on Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 12:05:08 from 155.101.152.123

It was great to see you out there and get to talk with you a little afterwards. Looking forward to more...
