Mo Wins Best Costume

/
2013 Costume Winner: Mo
Thanks to all who got in the spirit and dressed up this Saturday for the run! Last season coach Amy nicknamed Mo the bumblee bee of running because he defied physics. Built more like a linebacker than a distance runner, Mo continues to run endurance races quickly. Go figure! Runners really do come in all shapes and sizes. Mo won a $25 gift card to Metro.

Congratulations to our Chicago and KC finishers!

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!
