The Week Ahead & Dart League

Before we dive directly into the subject matter of 'week ahead & darts"  I'd like to pass along that Charro sends a big Thank You to Team R.E.D. for helping at the All-Comers meet last night. Having that many hands and eyes, makes things flow so nicely. Thanks to all!

Keep July 10th in mind if you'd like to join in as a volunteer for the next Byron All-Comers. See the previous post below... you'll see along with the fun of helping the kids and sharing smiles,  we also have additional R.E.D. fun afterwards, with a track meet of our own, followed by beverages!

***************************
Now on to darts!!!   Another aspect to the Team R.E.D. track meet was the fact we had the good fortune to run across one of the most fun Dart teams you might find.  If I ever "re"-retire from running, I will likely join this team!

I know it's subtle, but you should note that the 'headstander' wearing a white top, seemed to get replaced by someone else, who shall remain nameless (I'm good with protecting identity).   I'm not sure who the guilty party is, but someone jumped in to teach the women a few tricks!

The Week Ahead.... As it often is, loaded!

  • Tuesday 5:30pm:   The All Comes Mile.  This is a Rochester Track Cub Grand Prix event.  It's 1 mile on the Soldiers Field Track, a timed mile.. and No Entry Fee!   This is a race is open to all, before the youth events get started.   Come out on and challenge yourself to 4 hot, fast, smokin' laps around the track!  
  • Tuesday 6pm: After the race, don't forget to swing by Southerland Park at Soldiers Field for some grillin... bring your own meat for the grill & beverages, or just stop by and say hi!   Or... stick around and help with he All-comers meet, volunteers are always welcome!
  • Wednesday 5:30pm:   Speed workout on the track in Byron.  This has become a mainstay of the summer.  A great way to get together with others, and work on foot turnover!  Run fast to get fast... that's the plan!
  • Thursday 6pm: Team R.E.D. goes to Rochester. We're going to kick off from Ron's Place at the La Quinta in at 1625 South Broadway. I would expect a discount, as it's named after Team RED member Randy Quinta.   Note:  there was a great suggestion of meeting at, and running from Thursday's on 1st... I simply haven't had a chance to do the homework on logistics.  I think it would be a fun option sometime yet this summer.
  • Saturday 7am: Full & Half Marathon training long run takes off from the RAC. These are the long runs, which will help you reach the distance! Keep in mind, they are supported by volunteers, with water, Gatorade and banana's.    -- Speaking of Volunteers ---   If' you're available,any Saturday morning this summer, please contact Lin Gentling at lsgentling@charter.net    As volunteers are such a great addition to these long runs.   The job is fun... as you see so many runners come through, while you sit in the shade and relax! 
  • Monday July 4th:  The Stewartville Summerfest Runs kick off at 8:30am with the 5 miler.. 9:30am with the 3 miler.. come early and run them both!   These races are directed by Kevin Torgeson.  He puts on a great race year after year.
