Melody Finishes her First Half at RTP 2013
Congratulations to all the RTP finishers last Saturday. Melody Redburn worked for a year to overcome a stubborn injuy to train for and finish her first half marathon. Bravo!

Allison Phillips won her age division (35-39) and PR'd with a 1:31:42. Tyler Wolf not only gained a fiance, but also PR'd with a 1:29:03. George Searle, Laura Lund and Lacy Shelton also pulled off PR's at RTP. Wow! Melissa Lesage didn't make it to RTP, but placed third in her age division at the Queen's Romp 5K.

Cris, Ethan, Mo and Greg finished in the 3:40's. Amanda + baby at 2:22. Lorena, Mike B. and Mike C also finished RTP. Stacie ran the 5K in 28:34 doing run/walk. Woohoo!

PB Couple Engaged

Tyler Proposes to JJ with a Ring Tied to her Timing Chip
Congratulations to Tyler and JJ on their recent engagment at RTP! 

While JJ was getting ready in the morning, Tyler secured a ring to her race chip with the twisty ties. JJ says, "I got dressed, laced up my shoes, walked all over the house, ran up and down the stairs several times. I never once noticed. It was a race day morning after all!"

Once in the car JJ checked her supplies. She reports, "That's when I noticed that my usually tidy twisty ties were all jacked up. I tried to smooth them out but there was something stuck in there. It was a ring! I was also thankful that I noticed the ring before I started the race, got into a porta-potty, or crossed the finish line!"

JJ shared her proposal with everyone along the course, "I had no problem flashing anyone and everyone the rock that was slowing me down."

The future Mrs. Wolf will let her PB family know as soon as a date for the big day is set.
