On foot with Liz Frantz

Where she walks: I encountered Liz Frantz on a connector for the James F. Hall trail, near the Maryland/Delaware border in Newark.

Age: 20

What she does: Frantz is a marketing major at the University of Delaware, near which the trail runs.

Where she lives: While she ran for Atholton in high school, Frantz now lives in New Jersey when she's not at UD.

What's the routine? Frantz says she usually does "about 6 or 7 miles each morning. I like doing it to wake me up each day: I have afternoon classes."

While running: Music on the ipod is mixed, but "usually hip-hop -- more upbeat (versus slow)."

Training for something? While she hasn't started getting too serious about it yet, she says she's training for Philadelphia's Rock 'n Roll half-marathon in September.

About Exercists
Andrea Siegel, a reporter at The Baltimore Sun, covers mostly crime and courts in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, as well as legal issues. She wishes she was more physically fit, and, as she's more fond of chocolate than exercise, fitness is a challenge. Her partner on a one-mile-plus daily walk is the family dog, a mixed breed named Moxie, and she exercises at the gym where the D.C. snipers once worked out.
Jerry Jackson has been a photo editor at The Baltimore Sun for 14 years and an avid cyclist for more than 30 years. Inspired by the movie "Breaking Away," he started racing as a teenager in Mississippi when leather "brain baskets" were still the norm. He regularly commutes to work by bike and still enters several mountain bike races a year for fun.

Patrick Maynard, who will be writing about running and walking, has been a producer for baltimoresun.com since 2008. In 2009, he tweeted on-course for the Sun from the Baltimore Marathon, finishing in just under 4 hours and almost managing to run the whole time. He sometimes walks to the Sun offices on Calvert Street.

Leeann Adams, a multimedia editor at The Baltimore Sun, also dabbles in content for the mobile website and iPhone app and covers the Ravens via video. She did a triathlon to celebrate her 40th birthday and continues to swim, bike and run -- none of them quickly, though. Her biggest fitness challenge is to balance working, working out, spending time with her husband and being a mom to a 6-year-old boy.

Anica Butler, the Sun's crime editor, is a former high school runner and recovering vegetarian who spent more of her early-adult years on a bar stool than working out. She is currently training (though poorly) for a half marathon and is trying to live a generally healthier lifestyle. She also hates the gym.
