Congratulations to all our finishers this weekend! There were over 39,000 runners at the Pig and RRKC runners showed well! It may have been hot, humid and hilly but despite those conditions Pat placed in his age division and Mo and Jen finished the full marathon. In the half, Melody PR'd and Coach Amy placed 7th in her age division. Woot woot! 

JJ went back to the Illinois marathon this spring and banished away her DNF blues (due to lightning last year) to get another marathon under her belt! And, Kevin Butler ran a 1:38 at the inaugural Indepedence MO half marathon.
