Week Ahead in R.E.D.

Details of many opportunities for the week ahead are below, but first.. the Sunday Night Hikers had a nice crew of 13 cruising the trails of Oxbow.  Weather was fantastic as was the company!   Two new faces joined us for the hike, Mary Kay & Tom of Byron came on out... hope to see more of them at R.E.D.! 

Here we go!  What's ahead?   Lots!

• We'll meet at Shop-Ko North near the garden center and caravan out to Millville.  This is the course to run if you like a flat course. There's hardly any hills. The trail can be rocky in places but the scenery is beautiful.

Wednesday 5:30pm:  Speed is the word!  Hit the track at Byron with several R.E.D. members for a workout filled with turnover.  This group continues to thrive... come join them!
Thursday Night is loaded:   There is a home hosted Team R.E.D. in Rochester, as well as the RTC picnic & Trash Pickup.

Also, Team R.E.D. made an appearance on KAAL news, regarding the value of the trail, and how it can connect communities. 

The run was great fun, and we had some new faces at R.E.D. ... and that turned in to two new members!  Please welcome  Dawn & Jeremy!



Dawn Joins R.E.D.!




Jeremy came on board!

  
Also, important to note... Jen won the Best Tropical Outfit... for that she gets a $10 dollar gift card to the Bears Den!

Learn To Run!

We had a fantastic turnout for the Trail Run at Oxbow park Tuesday evening.. 20+ runners and hikers... great fun!   Be sure to check out Mason's updates each week, as he finds a new place to explore time and time again!   Don't let the distance to the run stop you either.. as there is often a Rochester meeting place, then carpool or caravan to the Rave Run....

************************

If you're a non-runner, or someone who has been away from running for a bit, or if you know someone who has said they'd like to start...  Team R.E.D. member Peg Arnold has an opportunity for you!  See a note below from Peg about the clinic she's teaching starting next week.. 

Note:  I will need to consult Millie to find out if Suk Law Firm as any issues with Peg's closing line...

Hello all,


I'll be teaching the Learn to Run clinic at the Running Room!! It is Monday nights for 10 weeks starting next Monday August 22nd at 6pm at the Rochester Running Room. The cost is $49.99 and if you’ve already taken the learn to run class and want to get started again it’s only $40. The clinic is for those that want to learn to run or get back into running, we start out with walk runs of one minute each and increase the minutes weekly. There is an at home training schedule with the class meeting every Monday evening for 10 weeks. At the end of the clinic we will be ready to run a 5K…perhaps the Spirit Run or another fun event.


This is a great way to get back into shape or to start running in a low key no pressure way. The clinic is fun and motivational! Please share this post with anyone you know who has shown an interest in running but wasn't sure how to get started. I hope to see many new faces on Monday!


Think about it!


Peg Arnold

*********************************

Please see the contest for the Cadence call in the post below...15 bucks at the Den for the winning entry!

If you're not familiar with a Cadence, there are a couple links in that post that will give you an idea.. but essentially, it's a call and response type chant or song.. it's very fun, and takes your mind off the running, while ensuring you are in rhythm and you are breathing nice and deep. You can not sing cadence without breathing! Cures a lot of side stitches ....



Contest!

Announcing a contest for best Team R.E.D. Cadence.. Winner to recieve $15 gift card to the Bears Den!

***********************
I have a few bits of news to pass along from the Rochester Track Club.  The following was provided by Dual Citizen (RTC & R.E.D) Jean Murray.. Thanks Jean!

• The last price break for Rochester Half ends tomorrow. Registration w/need to be online via Running Room or postmarked today/tomorrow. Thank goodness the down-loadable reg form is once again!
• The RTC Pot-luck Picnic is coming up!  Thursday, Aug. 25 at Soldiers Field East Pavilion.  This year, we will begin the evening with a trash pick-up at 5pm.   The picnic will start immediately after (5:40ish or a bit later)   contact Sonja Kranz if questions (ziehen2@charter.net)
• The RTC Board is seeking candidates to fill a few key roles for the support our club and mission:  Due to a resignation earlier this year, RTC has a vacant RTC 2011 board seat. We’ll likely have seat(s) vacate in 2012 as well. RTC is very much a working board (tasks and activities over/above commitment to participate in monthly board meetings), however, it’s a fun group that does a lot to support youth fitness and running events in our community.
• The Board is also interested in launching an `RTC Volunteer Recognition` program. We are looking for non-board member(s) interested in helping with that initiative.

Persons interested in either of he last two bullets, or learning more about them, may email Amy Donahoe-Anshus: donahoeanshus@gmail.com
