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.

That is awesome. I wish I had a running wife, my Christmas shopping would be done.

Nothing says you are an obsessive runner quite like a running necklace :)

Nothing says "I promise we won't do as much scary stuff this year" like getting you a necklace instead of a new ice axe and crampons

You guys realize there is an Olympics in 2014 too. Just saying....

From Jake K on Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 13:47:37 from 155.100.226.53

Yeah we are practicing our couples ice dancing in our spare time. Hopefully we can make the Olympic trials in either that or curling.

I like the ice axe and crampons idea.

From Andrea on Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 14:03:04 from 72.37.244.100

Bday and Christmas presents from Jake in the last few years - 2 ice axes, crampons, beacon, shovel, bear vault...my parents won't think he's trying to kill me this year!!

From Jake K on Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 14:05:21 from 155.100.226.53

dynafit ski crampons, climbing helmet...

Basically I have just been outfitting you for SAFETY!

From Scott Wesemann on Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 19:46:40 from 205.158.160.209

Wow, Jake knows what he is doing in the present dept. I drop hints like that to my wife all the time and I end up with ties and underwear.

From Bonnie on Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 19:15:36 from 128.196.228.134

That is an awesome Christmas present! I guess crampons are kind-of the equivalent of a dishwasher - yes, it is a helpful gift, but lacks the romance ;-) -- although Jake seems like a lucky guy in that Andrea might see the romance in crampons.

Scott, you poor guy, did you want a gold necklace?

From Scott Wesemann on Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at 13:05:33 from 205.158.160.209

Hi Bonnie- No I want crampons, ice axes and avy beacons. :)
