For those of you new to PB, Caleb Teague is a member of Personal Best and has been a huge a help over the years supporting our group. He works at Metro Walk and Run and is very active in the local running community. We don't see a lot of him, because he tends to run later in the day, but when he does join us, we usually see his back receding quickly away from us he flies down the road with his fiance, Connie.

Saturday Jan. 28th Long Run Details

/

This week's fun run is: "Who Am I?" A famous person's name will be pinned to your back. Spend your training run asking your running buddies yes or no questions to figure out who you are!

We will be set up for an 18 mile run (9 out and back) starting at Sport and Spine and running NE to scenic Ward Parkway. Run starts at 6:30 a.m. Check out the course map here.

FREE Physical Therapy Screenings

/

Each season PB offers a FREE basic screening for members by a physical therapist who specializes in running. These screenings can help catch some stability or mobility limitations that may contribute to a running injury. Also included, upon request, is a calculation of your lean muscle mass.

Screenings are held at Sport+Spine FREE for PB members and by appointment only. To schedule a screening, contact Coach Amy. Let us know if you'd like your lean muscle mass calculated as this takes more time.

Thank You Doug!
