Quick Notes:

Hey all.. I'll follow up with additional details on many of these items, but want to give you the down low, at a snapshot for now...

Grandmas Marathon was a super fun time!  It was so fun, to have so many very many positive memories of Paul being shared!  Thanks to all of you who were able to attend, participate or spectate.. and for the many who rooted R.E.D. members on via facebook, email and texts!   More details to follow on this great weekend!   The pic below was taken shortly before Grandmas 5K.   Unfortunately, we didn't capture everyone at this moment, but we sure had a good looking group of 20! 


Additionally, congrats to those of you participating in the Rochesterfest Triathlon! It sure sounds like everyone had fun!

The week ahead looks like this..
  • Tuesday 5:30pm:  Soldiers Field shelter,  at Cumberland Park, between the Y and the Golf Course.   Head out for a run of your distance.. and come back for a social... grill provided, bring your own food and drink.
  • Tuesday 6pm:  All-Comers Track Meet.  This is a great event to take the kids too.   They can try many different track distances, events!  They all seem to leave with a smile!
  • Wednesday 5:30pm:  Byron Track Speed work!  Get on the track and turn over the wheels!
  • Thursday 6pm:  Peg & Wally Arnold are hosting at their place, 658 Shardlow Place NE in Byron.   We'll kick that off with a route talk, then rock the Arnold residence!  Peg & Wally will  provide beer and pop and bar-b-cue sandwich's and chips. If anyone wants to bring a dish or desert that is optional.
  • Saturday 7am:    Long runs for the Marathon and Half Marathon training kick off again from the RAC.. Note the start time is moved up from spring sessions.. start is 7am.   These long runs will get you ready for your events... get on board!
Here's another view of how people want to do things to recognize Paul.  Lee Hoedl is part of the Fargo Marathon organizing committee.  He's running 61 Half Marathon distances to raise 6100 dollars for Children's Hospital Boston.  Today, June 21, is dedicated to Paul Melby.  Very nice!
