The Running FUNnies

/
Running is for FUN!
At PB we take running seriously but we also believe running should be FUN and we know that many of you, no matter what your goals, enjoy the social aspect of running of with a group. Take a look at our fun runs for Fall 2011:

Meet and Greet - we start out every season with the Meet and Greet. Your mission on this long run is to make a new friend. Come back to home base with a name and at least one interesting morsel of information about your newest buddy.


Hat Run - run in your favorite or funniest head piece. Best head topper receives a prize!


Predicted Time Run - leave your time piece at home and predict your time for this long run. Closest guess receives a prize.

Inside Out Run - inspired by a runner who dressed in the dark before a summer run and arrived at the group run with her shorts inside out! No names! Coach Amy. To celebrate running fun and making fun of yourself, wear your running gear inside out or your outsides in! Above picture is a photo from the Jamaica Underwear Run. Please do wear something under the insides, PB doesn't have a permit for us to run solely in our skivvies, yet...


Frighteningly Fit Costume Run - scare your running partners or make them laugh as we celebrate Halloween by running in costume.

More details on all these fun runs TBA

Functional Movement Screening

/

Qualified Participants receive a FREE functional movement screening!

Plantar fasciitis, ITB syndrome, shin splints, "runner's knee"... Runners despise being relegated to "walking wounded" status by a running injury. Even with the best of training and a conservative approach, most distance runners at some point have experienced a running related injury.

Personal Best's coach Amy Parkerson-Mitchell, licensed physical therapist, is teaming up with KU Med to gather data that will help rehabilitation specialists screen for potential causative factors related to running injuries.

We are looking for 100 runners between the ages of 18-65 years, running 20 miles or more per week that have been injury free for at least 6 weeks prior to the start of the study. As a part of the study, you will receive a FREE Functional Movement Screening - a $50.00 value. The screening will take approximately 15 minutes.

Research is being conducted in the Overland Park area on two Sundays: August 14th and August 21st.

If you meet the criteria and are available to participate, contact Coach Amy at kcrunning@hotmail.com for more details and to set up your appointment.

Don't qualify for the study, but would like to schedule a screening? Please contact us. Screenings are free for PB members and $50.00 for non-members.


Please pass this notice along to all your running friends!
