KRISTA DUGOSH, Owner
An avid runner (and pizza-eater) since college, Krista Dugosh practices what she sells at Fleet Feet Murfreesboro. Krista is a Board Certified Pedorthist, which is a footwear specialist who solves problems in or related to the foot and lower limb. She is an expert in fitting the correct shoe to your foot, and can recommend the correct insert if one is required. She chose Murfreesboro to open her Fleet Feet store because of the hometown feel and "awesome people."
Krista's Exercise Tip? "Start your programs conservatively, you'll be more likely to stick with it!  Don't overdo it and over-train.  Injuries are yuck!"

Inspiration for Andrea comes from her marathon-running father. By 3rd grade Andrea was running in competitions. After college, the motivation was to lose weight, and now, after three children of her own, Andrea runs for her sanity. Andrea loves working at Fleet Feet because "we serve the community to make a healthy, active lifestyle more enjoyable."
Andrea's goal for 2009 is to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Her favorite quote: "Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those doing it."

KALEY

Four years of team soccer at MTSU along with lots of studying for a degree in exercise science has kept Kaley active. She recently got her graduate degree in sport management, and she really gets excited when people leave the store with their feet feeling great.

BRANDON

For Brandon, a long trail run followed by chocolate milk and a nap is the way to start the weekend. He is amazed at how much he learns from the staff and customers every day. "...and miles to go before I sleep...(Robert Frost) is Brandon's mantra, as he fills each day as full as possible.

DAVID

With his favorite quote being "It's at the borders of pain and suffering that the men are separated from the boys" (Emil Zatopek), it's no wonder David's favorite weekend activity is going on a long run. What's his favorite part of working at Fleet Feet? Getting people off their couches.

Originally a road cyclist and mountainbiker before moving to triathlons, Paul has numerous age group placings in 5k's and triathlons, and he competes in most running distances. After a three-year break from tri's, he is training to bring Fleet Feet Murfreesboro its first triathlon placing..."Wish me luck!"

JOHN

Position: Staff Sponge.  "I absorb almost everything that comes my way even though sometimes it is a little too much." John's favorite weekend activity is running, then relaxing like a champion. He likes the down-to-earth atmosphere at Fleet Feet and having a second family at work.

CHARLES

At 38 yrs old and 370 lbs., Charles went through a life changing experience. He lost 190 lbs. and has maintained the weight loss through a healthy diet and running. He completed his first half marathon in 2007 and has completed three more since, breaking the two hour mark in the last.

TOMMY

Oatmeal w/ dark choc pieces, protein powder, peanut butter and honey is Tommy's favorite pre-workout snack. And afterward? "Mexican food and beer."

He likes working at Fleet Feet because he learns something new every day.
