The team

Runner 1:Lisa: Lisa works for the physical therapist in the Panarama building. She was Jeff's physical therapist when he broke his ankle last year. Lisa is a Montana girl and she and Jeff hit it off. She has completed a marathon and she is a strong runner. She's fast, she runs about a 56min. 10k!

Runner 2: Amy: Amy is a Hair We R gal. September marks the 2 year anniversary of Amy's gastric bypass surgery. She has shed 190 pounds and gained some serious muscles. I keep telling her I'm going to buy her a shirt that says "I may be slow, but I'm persistent" Amy doesn't give up. She trains harder and more frequently than the rest of us. She rocks!

Runner 3: Victoria: Victoria is a secretary at Woodrow Wilson. She also happens to be one of my clients. Victoria wasn't a runner before we started the relay training, but you can't tell. Her little body is all leg and she is speedy!

Runner 4: Wendy: Wendy is an Anglz gal. She is my Chicago Marathon partner in crime and she has lived at Casa Eller. Wendy and I started running together and we continue to run together.

Runner 5: Yvonne: Another hairstylist from Hair We R. Yvonne is the energizer bunny on a hill. She runs hard and sticks with it!

Runner 6: Jeanine: The team captain. The Hairstylist. The crazy gal with the harebrained idea to run the relay. The one that brought an entire team together.

Runner 7: Jessika: Jessika is a WWA mom. Her son went to school with RJ, and I have been trying to talk her in to running with me for several years. Now she's in and I see no slowing down.

Runner 8: Janessa: The young one! Janessa is Yvonne's niece. She has been a runner her whole life and it shows. She is also a starving student, working to become a doctor!

Runner 9: Erica: The triathlete. Erica inspires me. A LOT! She not only is a hard core runner, but she also bikes and swims. While the rest of us are complaining about a 10k at 10,000 feet she's out doing half ironman triathlons. Erica also works as a physical therapist with Lisa.

Runner 10:a: Dee Dee: A Hair We R stylist. DeeDee is our resident beauty queen. 1997 Miss Colorado. She never sweats, even when she runs 10 miles at Garden of the Gods. And she always looks beautiful, even just rolling out of bed to run at 7am.
Runner 10:b:Danielle: She came to Hair We R just wanting a job and got sucked in to the insanity. But she does it with a smile on her face and never a complaint.
Runner 11: Our alternate: Pegi: Pegi is a hairstylist at Hair We R on occasion. She was also a WWA mom when RJ was there, and she and her husband Matt helped complete Casa Eller for Christy. Pegi took up running just about 10-12 weeks ago and jumped in with both feet!
