Tuesday Night Run Nov. 2

It is hard to believe, but this Tuesday, November 2 is the last speed work session of the season. We are meeting at 5:30 p.m. at Roe Park and plan to finish up around 6:30 p.m. when mother nature turns the lights out. NY racers, time for a few cruise laps. If you are recovering from a race or just want to come out and run the Roe loop (1/2 mile) for 3-4 miles or the connecting IC trails, please join us! Beers at Fox and the Hound to follow. Woo hoo!

STL Road Trip!

It all started with a road trip...we got lots of honks and every single time Amy S. jumped because she forgot it was on the window!

Straight to the expo. Poor Cris had to deal with Amy's squared and their shopping. We hit every single booth!

Cris, Coach Amy and Amy S. at Trattoria on the hill. Goat cheese salad, carpaccio, lobster and shrimp risotto and two glasses of pinot cause trouble for Coach Amy the morning of race day (see VIP porta-potty below). And, yes, she knows better. It was just too irresistible.

Thanks to Cris, Amy earned a VIP porta potty pass at the expo. All you have to do is spend $150 in Brooks gear. Inside: wooden doors, flushing potty, lotion, hair spray AND Brooks toilet paper! Servers in black tie with silver platters of chomps circulate behind the red carpet.

Angi and Bob race day morning. Angi's parents came out to cheer for their first race experience.

Amy S. cheered on all the runners in a bright pink wig with PB signs. She worked so hard trying to see every runner that her wig is all askew! A huge thanks to Amy S. for coming out to cheer, driving and taking pictures!

Congrats STL Finishers!

Amy S., Mendi, Coach Amy, Bob, Angi and Cris

Congrats PB Runners! Mendi, Coach Amy and Angi all PR'd at STL and Cris came back from knee surgery using the Galloway to break 2 hours in the half! Woo hoo. We all wish Bobby a big GET WELL SOON!
