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 - Went to the gym with Jake. We did 20 minutes on the stairmaster then ran outside for 10 minutes or so. We weren't planning to run at all, but he was making me so nervous on the stairmaster that running actually seemed like a better idea.

Is he trying to fly off the machine again?

From Andrea on Thu, Mar 07, 2013 at 08:19:37 from 72.37.171.52

Let's just say he is much more graceful running than he is on the stairmaster!

hahahahaha thanks for the morning laugh.

From Jake K on Thu, Mar 07, 2013 at 08:31:00 from 155.100.226.191

haha was I really that bad? I was actually surprised when you suggested we run... but I wasn't going to argue with you! :-)

From Andrea on Thu, Mar 07, 2013 at 08:35:37 from 72.37.171.52

Nah you aren't that bad, I just don't think it's a great cross training activity with a healing achilles :)

From Lulu Walls on Thu, Mar 07, 2013 at 10:31:25 from 155.100.9.11

I need video or something. How can one be that bad at the stairmaster :)

There's always the handbike, bane of our college x-training experience.

From Andrea on Thu, Mar 07, 2013 at 12:23:19 from 72.37.171.52

We'll do handbike this afternoon! Soo fun...

From Jake K on Thu, Mar 07, 2013 at 12:27:12 from 155.100.226.191

I don't know... I could crack an ulna if I start going too fast.

I would agree that the stairmaster wouldn't be good for an achilles injury unless you made sure not to get up on your toes. Another great tool is the rowing machine. Active.com says rowing is good for runners so it must be true

Rowing irritated my hamstring...it doesn't bother yours Fritz?

From Jake K on Thu, Mar 07, 2013 at 12:57:09 from 155.100.226.191

The marathon cured my achilles injury. Not really sure how that happened, but it did. I guess 26 miles relatively quick was enough to loosen it up for good.

From Andrea on Thu, Mar 07, 2013 at 13:01:43 from 72.37.171.52

No, it's not hurting b/c you are taking time OFF to let it heal!

From Fritz on Thu, Mar 07, 2013 at 14:02:18 from 65.116.116.6

Nope. Rowing doesn't aggravate my hamstring now and never really has. It only hurts when I am extending my leg forward while running.

From Redd on Thu, Mar 07, 2013 at 14:24:35 from 67.182.221.190

We have a rowing machine at our house, but it's probably never been used.

Jake's giving it the large over on his blog: says he thrashed you so bad in a sprint finish that it was embarrassing:)
