Linda pulled off a PR of 4:08 at the Chicago marathon. 
Marc finished the KC full marathon with his first ever negative split. 
JJ and Tyler completed the full relay as a two person team.
We had lots of participants in the half marathon:
A big congrats to Kim who finished her first half marathon and to Jamie who pulled off her first half marathon in a long time despite battling injury all season.
Amy S., Mo and Allison S. finished the half all within seconds of each other: 1:48:34, 1:49:06 and 1:49:14. 
Lacy finished with a great half time of 1:54 and Greg with 1:57. 
Michelle A. finished with a PR of 2:07
Mike B came in at 2:12 followed closely by two PBers who PR'd: Michelle S. with a 2:17 and Jami with a 2:19. Jami took 12:11 off his time! Speed work DOES work!
Howie and Jeff both completed the KC 5k - woo hoo! 
Thank to Dave R. for cheering on all our PBers. We need more cow bell? No!

2012 KC Marathon

Trust the training and run your butts off! We will be out there to chase you down and cheer you on. Look for us around the 7.5 mile marker right where the half and full split. We will be the obnoxious ones with signs in one hand and coffee in the other.

Jeff and Howie are running the 5K. JJ and Tyler are in the relay. Michelle A., S. and B. are all running the half. This will be Kim's first half and Jami is going to help her. Mo will be halfin' in it as well as Lorena, Lacey, Greg and Allison. This will be Jamie H.'s return to long distance running after quite a break. Marc will be representing PB in the full.

Good luck all! Woot woot!
