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.

3.5 miles. Hip and hamstring were bothersome. I know that there is some movement dysfunction that is preventing me from getting to where I want to be, I just can't seem to figure it out.

PM - 30 minutes on the bike.

My body sucks!

Injuries suck. It is the worst when things don't get better, however, your persistence and determination has been very inspiring.

From Andrea on Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 10:07:41 from 72.37.171.52

18 months and counting :(

Thanks though, it's very draining at times. One of these days someone will figure out how to fix me, right?!

I hope so. I think everyone on the blog hopes for your recovery. Keep at it, it will come

So sorry Andrea!

I'm so sorry Andrea! :(

Now, let's not throw a pity party for me! I'm fine, it's just one of those bad weeks. I'm thinking about trying another round of no running for a few weeks while it's still crappy weather and get some blood work done.
