Bears Den After Run

Another nice turnout at the Bears Den... as I sampled the participants, it sounds like everyone did the 6 or the 4 mile routes... Nice work everyone!

Rock Paper Scissors went off without a hitch, but as you can see, Angie is slighly more skilled at this then Andy (maybe standing gave her a position of power!)  Additionally, Tracy has now won back to back weeks!  She's pictured below with Co-Champion Aaron.

Couple things coming up this weekend....

Saturday Morning Long Run 7:00am:  Meet at the RAC in Rochester, (several Team R.E.D. members are gathering early at 6:15am to add 3.6 extra miles).  The weekly marathon and half marathon training run is set for 17 miles for full marathoners, and I would anticipate approximately 8-9 miles for half marathoners.  These weekly runs are key, as they are staffed with volunteers providing water/Gatorade along the way!  


Sunday Morning Practice Run 8:30am:   The 2nd run of the week from the Running Room.    Note, the running room offers periodic training classes to 'learn to run'... they set each class toward target races.  i.e. learn to run a 5K class would end with an actual 5K race.

Stay tuned... KC Reed and I are heading out to the Boy Scout Camp on Monday.   Details as to time will follow this weekend, in case anyone wants to join us.   Our plan is to scope out the possibility of a Living History Farms type race out there.   I also know, Jim Mason has bounced around ideas of creating something like that as well.

Progressive Run:   Several people expressed interest in the Wednesday morning progressive run recently.   If you've never had a chance to try it, set your alarm early and give it a shot.  It's really quite the fun workout, really it is!  I wouldn't make that up!    We start each Wednesday morning at 5:30am from my place, 805 1st Ave NW in Byron.   The workout, with cool down is approx 7.5 miles and takes a little over an hour to complete.   Let me know if you have any questions about how it works...

Upcoming Race: Karl-Peter passed along a reminder that the Harvest Classic is fast approaching (Sept 12).   This 5K, 10K and 1 mile kids run is put on by the Mayo Medical School and it's another great chance to test yourself.    You can find all the details and register online at  http://www.harvestclassic.com/
