Kudos to Hanson-Brooks runner Melissa White , who finished eighth at 2:32:55 in the 2009 Chicago Marathon on Sunday. White shaved five minutes off her personal record and was the second U.S. woman to cross the finish line.
Hansons teammate Patrick Rizzo finished tenth in the men’s field. He also achieved a PR with a time of 2:15:48.
Frayed Laces, a well-read and respected running-community blogger, had the chance to make a stopover in Chicago to see our B*R*A*S*H (Brooks Running Athlete Support Hospital) Tent at the Expo and hang out with Brooks folks.
