Fun barely covers it—this was something special. Michelle and her mom took on 13.1 miles side by side, turning every step into a shared memory. From the energy of the crowd to the rhythm of the course, Michelle soaked in every sight and sound along the way. More than just a race, it was a powerful reminder that the best miles are the ones you don’t run alone. 💙🏃‍♀️

🐎 DERBY HALF MARATHON 🐎

Incredible dedication from as she threw down one of her best ever times at the !

“Every year Kim has been able to take steps forward in her training, expanding the types of workouts she is doing, building higher volume than ever before, and taking her running to new places. It’s been so impressive watching not only the progress in her running, but the internal growth in resilience! You’d never know that just a few years ago, before picking up long distance running, that she was sidelined with a hip surgery because she is much stronger than she ever has been. She’s a great example of how to move past barriers!” -Min’s Pineries Coach, Nathan

🏁 HALF MARATHON PR 🏁

Huge weekend for Pineries Athlete at the half marathon throwing down a big PR!

“Phillis showed incredible dedication and consistency all winter long, putting in the work day after day—even in freezing conditions. That commitment paid off in a big way, with amazing progress and a big personal record at the finish line! She pushed beyond her limits, embraced the challenge, and proved what she’s capable of.

I am so happy to be a part of this wonderful journey you are on!” -Phyllis’ Run Coach,

A long-overdue—but very well-deserved—shoutout to our endurance powerhouse, Kyle!

This year, Kyle has taken on an impressive lineup of endurance challenges, pushing limits and achieving incredible results along the way.

His true passion lies on the trails, and despite a busy work schedule, he consistently finds time to head into the mountains and chase big goals.

Most recently, Kyle wrapped up his race season at the Kilkenny Ridge Race, tackling the grueling 25-mile course with approximately 7,500 feet of elevation gain. He not only completed it—he crushed it, finishing in just over 6 hours and earning an outstanding 6th place overall.

It’s been an absolute pleasure to coach Kyle this season. His dedication and grit are truly inspiring, and I can’t wait to see what new heights he’ll reach next year!

🥇 10K WINNER 🥇

Another inspiring story from a Pineries athlete comes from !

If you’ve trained as a runner, you know how much dedication and work goes into it. You also know that no one sees the whole picture and all the internal and external battles that are fought to attain your goals. Kim’s fight has been admirable throughout these years of coming back to running after surgery. Her dedication and consistency has led to meeting her primary goals of staying healthy and being able to run faster and longer.

What’s even better is when you get a little cherry on top. In this case it was running a massive 10K PR and taking first in her age division at the ! At Pineries, we put emphasis on the process and internal development, but it’s certainly fun when you get to hoist a massive handmade stein as a trophy.

Congrats Kim! It’s an honor to be working with you!

✨ INSPIRATIONAL ✨

Last weekend Pineries athlete .disher.7 completed the Fox Cities Marathon. After almost calling her marathon career over in the spring, she decided to give it one last chance.

Why was she thinking of being done with marathons? Lisa has been dealing with a progressive neurological disorder that is changing her balance and coordination, which is expected to continue worsening over time.

We consulted with her neurologist who agreed running at appropriate intensities will be safe for her and Lisa decided to give the marathon one last shot.

We created a specialized training program for her to maximize her training while putting as little stress on her nervous system. It was unique, individualized, and a challenge. She was so dedicated, and it all paid off on race day when she crossed the finish line.

You won’t be able to fully understand the mental fortitude Lisa has demonstrated, but it’s inspiring! So thankful to work with her!

Congrats Lisa! So thankful to be on your team!

Congratulations to Phillis on an incredible achievement over the past two weekends!

She first tackled the Fox Cities Half Marathon, followed by a strong performance at the Wonderful Water Run 10K. Phillis has been putting in the work all year, and it’s clearly paid off — not only did she hit her goals, but she also set new personal records along the way!

This summer brought its share of challenges, but Phillis met them head-on with resilience and determination. Her ability to bounce back and finish the season strong is nothing short of inspiring.

Way to go, Phillis — we’re proud of you!
