TC 10 Mile Preview & Stuff

Paul and I previewed the Twin Cities 10 Mile course on Saturday, in prep for the Oct 3rd event.  It was fun to run it, and will be nice to know what's around each corner come race day!    The race starts near Metrodome in Minneapolis and runs to the State Capitol in St Paul. 

Below are a few pics of our journey.

There are several Team R.E.D. members taking part in either the Twin Cities Marathon or 10 miler.. it will be fun to see if we can arrange a meeting spot, before and/or after the races.

Congrats to Tom Woo for yet another fantastic marathon finish.   Tom finished 6th in his age group at the Fox Cities Marathon in Appleton WI this weekend.

If you raced this past weekend, let me know how it went.   I know Anne and Mark Baron were planning on the Lupus Trail Run at Essex.  And I learned that 5 team red members walked with hardware from the Hormel Nature Center race in Austin!   Pitured below are, Matt, Jim, Meg,, Tod and Steve....  Nice work all!

Here's an early peek at a few workouts taking place over the next couple days...  let me know if you have any to add.  

Tuesday Night Track/Hills:  5 or 5:30pm at the Soldiers Field Memorial  in Rochester.
Wednesday Morning Progressive Run:   5:30am from 805 1st Ave NW in Byron
Wednesday Evening Run: 6pm starting at the Running Room in Rochester
Thursday Team R.E.D.:  6pm from the Bellrichards home in Byron.   This is inappropriate t-shirt night.. and it should be a blast!

Tod and Meg will provide water, beer, margaritas and walking tacos. We can each bring something to share with the group as well..  Bellrichards also have a Pina Colada machine, so I'll bring along some rum and mix for anyone interested in dialing that up.  

You can expect runs of 4.5 and 6 miles, like last year and 2.5 mile walk towards town into the new town estates developements.   (routes will post on the blog in the next day or so).

Finally!   A slideshow of the Mayo Open... Sorry we didn't' capture everyone, as there were so many of you out there!    None the less congrats go to all of you who participated!

Also, as previously noted, many of the pics are blurry... does anyone want to check out my camera settings to see if that can be remedied?
