New Start Time - Long Run Deets for Oct. 8th
/Running is just catching yourself falling forward - Coach Amy (Probably someone equally wise has said something like this before ;)
26.2 miles is a lot of falling forward...This weekend our very own Caleb Teague, Dan McDonald and Michael Liss will be running the Chicago marathon. Best wishes for spectacular race conditions and a personal best for all three!
This Saturday our long run starts at the CVS on the SE corner of 95th and Nall. Start times for group runs are now thirty minutes later than usual, at 6:30 a.m. Course Map.
If you are running the Kansas City half or full marathon, please fill out this three question survey for us.
Cure 5K
/Personal Best is sponsoring the Cure 5K again this year and we have 4 free entries to the race for PB members! The race is at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 5th.
Several of us ran the group run as a warm-up last year and headed over to the race for a quickie 5K followed by pancakes. This year our group run that morning starts at 7:00 a.m. at Metro - just a little jaunt down 95th to Mission and your are at Cure! Plenty of time to do both.
Free entries are first come first serve - kcrunning@hotmail.com.
