Week of R.E.D. Opportunities

Wow... what a great weekend of events.. R.E.D. members were involved in many events!  Including the Mac Attack, Pine Island Ribbon Run, Trinona, Marathon to Marathon, and Hurricane ran his 70th Career Marathon at Knology Swan Lake Marathon in Viborg, S.D.  ! 

Here's what's coming up this week.. it's another full one!

• 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 (I'm planning 3-4 miles, due to Grandmas on the horizon)... bring your own beverage and something for the grill! 
• Tuesday 6pm.... the Rochester Track Club's All-Comer's meets start this week!  They run for the next 6 Tuesdays, and are a great way to help young kids enjoy the sport.   They are always welcoming volunteers, and it's a blast!  If available, this week or any.. please contact Laura Lenz at lenz.rowekamp@usfamily.net
• Wednesday 4:30pm.. Jen is leading a group by bike, wheels, pedals, gears.. those things.. she is riding from the RAC with Renee, Lucas, and Mike.   Jen is new to road biking, so she added more are welcome, "if anyone else wants to join us and laugh at my maiden road voyage!"
• Wednesday 5:30pm... Meet at the Byron Track (located at the Middle School) for some speed work! We'll talk about workout options before getting started..   Wine Bottling will take place post track work out...  So come on out, as Wendy and Elaine bottle their batches of wine, this has been much anticipated!  I think I'll mostly chit chat and relax as they do the work!
• Wednesday 6:15pm...  Viola Gopher Count 5K!   There are not very many Wednesday evening races I encounter, yet every few hours tonight, I've learned about more R.E.D. members planning to take part!   Have a great race all!
• Thursday 6pm... Team R.E.D. is at the Bears Den!   Come at 6pm for the route talk, then pick your poison of 3, 4 or 6 miles.   Of course, regardless of distance, we'll rendezvous inside the Den post run.  
• Saturday 8am... Off Season Strider's gather at Dunn Brothers North (just off from North Broadway on Elton Hills Drive).  This is another great group run... and route options will be discussed that morning.  The group hangs for coffee and social post run.
• Saturday 7:30am...  Grandmas Marathon!   A whole lotta Team R.E.D. will be represented in Duluth.  Many wearing tanks and tee's in honor of Paul Melby.  
• Sunday 6pm...  Fun Run from the Den (unless I hear a change of location).   This group typically goes 3-5 miles..  Lots of good people, great fun, and a run!
