Week of R.E.D.

Congrats to all on a very successful Med City Marathon... additionally, Woo was at Stillwater while Mille was at Mad City... what a great weekend of running!   Bunches of Thanks to all of you volunteers!   

Hats off to Peg and Wally for cranking up the Med City Marathon into an all out event!   The additions of an expo, jumbo tron, hot finish line food and live music post race, inflatables for the kids to jump on.. all these things helped make race day, a great event!

Below is a slideshow of pics taken by me, and others lifted off friends face book pages...

Here's a look at the week ahead...

• Tuesday 5:30pm... meet at the Soldiers Field picnic Shelter (sutherland park, between the YMCA and the Golf Course).   You can go for a run... and follow it up with some grillin'.... bring your own beverage and something for the grill!  Can't make it at 5:30pm?  Come when you can.. and join the social.
• Wednesday 5:30pm...   gather at the Byron Track (located at the Middle School) for some fun footwork on the track! 
• Thursday 6pm... Team R.E.D. at the Bears Den in Byron.  Routes will go up on Wednesday... the usual, 3, 4 and 6ish.
• Saturday 8am... Chester Woods 5K, 10 Miler or 50K!  This race is directed by Team R.E.D.'s Jim Mason.   R.E.D. is staffing a water station (if you're interested in joining the volunteer crew, drop me a note.  You can learn more about this event by visiting the following blog..  http://chesterwoodstrailrun.blogspot.com/
• Sunday 6pm... the Snow Shoe crew is invitng all of Team R.E.D. to the Mesenburgs, 1098 8th Avenue NW, in Byron. .... this is typically a shorter run or walk.. followed by more social time!  The following is a note from Amy regarding the festivities, which will follow Luara's graduation party.  For your ease, I have underlined  what I believe is the most important piece of information:  All of Team R.E.D. is welcome if they would like to gather for what I'm sure will be a LOT of food and fellowship! We have planned for 300 people for pulled pork and chicken from Bear's Den. I highly doubt the graduation crowd will be that big so the more the merrier! In addition, I'm sure Dan's wine and CRAP will come out later in the evening. The official grad party is from 3-6pm and then the after party to follow. We will have a root beer keg and all the beer you can drink:)
