Routes are set for Retro Night!

Come one come all!  Retro night will be a ball!   Randy Quint is our host this Thursday at 6pm, his place is 1363 Woodland Dr SW in Rochester...  see the note below from Randy (and a picture of him and George, volunteering at the Tuesday Night All-Comers Meet at Soldiers Field).

This week's team RED's gathering will focus on past, "glory day" athletes. Let's make it a "retro" theme where you can come dressed in old running gear from past decades. ( eg. long socks, tennis shoes, headbands, wrist bands, cutoff shorts) We will have routes of 2,4, and 6 miles with a special 1/4 mile beer route for those interested in small "r" and capital  "ED". And speaking of "ED", the grills will be fired up for burgers and brats. Additional munchies and treats with bottled soda pop, gatorade and water.  Oh I almost forgot, keg beer on tap for those so inclined.

I suppose everyone's definition of Retro could be a little different, some of you will connect to sports, some to disco, old school rock... here are a couple links to gems I found that trigger my thoughts of retro...

Levi Jeans
 
Kinny shoes

Routes are as follows.. even a 1/2 miler for those of you in a hurry to get to the keg! (Thanks Renee for creating the routes)


********************************************

If you want an additional workout on Thursday you are welcome to join Paul, Marv and myself as we set out on a Progressive Pace run at 5:30am on Thursday morning..   We'll gather at my place 805 1st Ave NW and take off from there (running primarily flat terrain) with a plan that looks something like this... 

Mile    Pace
1        10:00
2         9:00
3         8:30
4         8:00
5         7:30
6         7:00
7         6:30
cool    10:00


With that said... I would like to leave you with a useful piece of information that I always try to keep in mind.
