The Props & The Plan

Pat yourselves on the back as Team R.E.D. was nominated for an award.  The award is Olmsted County's 'Live for Others – Healthy Community Award'.   There were several people and organizations nominated, and they will announce the winner Tuesday the 13th.  I don't know much beyond that, i.e. criteria and such...  but I think it's cool we're in the discussion!   I'd also like to Thank whoever nominated Team R.E.D.... but at this point, it's a mystery.

If you're interested in a hill workout, there is one planned for Tuesday at 6pm starting at the Soldiers Field memorial (weather permitting!).   This will consist of a warm-up to the hill, then follow with multiple climbs and descents... followed by a cool down back to the memorial.     In the event of storms, or just nasty weather, the plan is to move the workout to the RCTC Indoor Track for speedwork.  One way or another, a hard effort is going to take place... check back here if the weather is questionable... and most of all, come join us!

Thursday, we'll meet at the Bears Den at 6pm for Team R.E.D.   Routes will go up tonight, as I watch the Duke Blue Devils lead me to my bracket championship this evening.  Not that I'm a gambling man.

********************************
On a personal note... On April 17th, the Bears Den is hosting an All-You-Can-Eat Pancake feed from 7:00-10:30am to support the efforts of Roll & Stroll for JDRF.   We are very grateful for their support, as finding a cure to Type-1 Diabetes is a personal mission for our family.  Please join us for breakfast if you're available that morning.  --- as a side, and you'll see a bit more moving forward --- Roll & Stroll is an event that Wendy and I coordinate, along with a host of other volunteers, to raise money for a cure.  This year's Roll & Stroll is May 16th from 1-4pm (with check-in starting at noon).   Roll & Stroll consists of a 3 mile route in which you can walk, run or ride the course.. then play games, listen to music, win prizes or bid at the silent auction.  A family fun day... please consider joining us for that as well....   for details as this event approaches, you can visit rollandstroll.blogspot.com
