Thank You for your Donations

Thank you for your generous donations to the Christy, Get Well fund. So far we've collected $42.00 and Personal Best will match the final total. There is still time, if you'd like to donate. We will accept donations at the upcoming Fitness Assessments and Studio PB classes on Sunday as well as the stride clinic on Tuesday night.

Neck Sox

If you didn't get a chance to buy a neck sock from Trudy on Saturday morning, you can contact her atnordic.t@earthlink.net. and order one! For more information about this warm and fuzzy must have, click here.

This is a Stick UP

OK, its not...but Trudy is back with her warm and fuzzy fleece neck gators that protect you from the cold winds that hit the chin and neck whilst running. And don't worry Kansas State and Mizzou fans, she's got fleece for you as well as other colors and designs.

She will be at this Saturday's run. The cost is $10.00 per gator. 20% of proceeds will go to charity. Bring cash or check. If you forget, Trudy will have addressed envelopes and you can simply send in your payment later!

Adopt a Treadmill

This awesome treadmill needs a home. It doesn't shed or require water or food, but it does need the occasional walk or run especially when road conditions are poor or the weather is below zero windchill.

If you are interested in adopting this family friend, please contact Cynthia Hinman via e-mail or Phone: 913-406-7093. She is asking $400 or best offer.
