This Week!

We have a great week ahead!  You Team R.E.D. people totally rock!  

• Tuesday 6pm:   Gather at Brooklawn park in Byron (located on Cty Rd 5 & 9th St NW).   From here we'll run just over a mile to the high school.. then take in the Byron Cross Country course.. this course is further proof that if you build it, they will come.   Then we'll travel back to the park.    Total mileage of that run approx 5.5 miles.  
  
• Note:  If you're late arriving at Brooklawn park, we'll be gone!  We need to leave on time to get back for the bullet-ed item below.  Also note, if you're late, either drive to the high school, and join us out back for the 3.1 mile course, or wait at the park, we'll be back!
• Tuesday 7pm:   We are dedicating the Team R.E.D. adoption of Brooklawn Park, to the memory of Paul Melby.  A sign in Paul's memory was recently installed, and we're excited to mark this occasion.   We'll have some moments at the park, and follow it up with a social at the Bears Den.   If you have a Paul Melby shirt (the one worn  by many at Grandma's Marathon)  feel comfortable wearing that.  If you do not have that shirt, consider a Team R.E.D. shirt or any red shirt (in truth, you can't go wrong with what you wear, just come on out!)
• Note:   if the weather is really poor, check back here to see if we reschedule, the tentative rain date would be Monday 10/3 --- but rain date is a weak description, as it would likely need to be a really poor evening to change.. so check back!
• Special Thanks!  I'd like to send a Very Special Thanks to Amy & Dan Mesenburg from ServiceMaster of Rochester for spearheading this sign.  Additionally, Thanks Flagship Recreation, they were the makers of the sign.  Those two companies covered the cost, IN FULL!  Also, a big Thank You to the City of Byron for the installation of the sign and opportunity to adopt this park.    It's awesome to have support from so many on things that matter... and this matters!  Please be sure to let those who sponsor us know you appreciate it!  Team R.E.D. has four great sponsors, and they are the Bears Den, Pro Image, Need's Car Wash & ServiceMaster of Rochester. 
• Wednesday 5:30pm:   Speed work on the Byron Track!  Come on out and give it a go... we have a variety of abilities, as well as a couple options for workouts.  If you've ever wondered what the track can do for you, this is a chance to find out!
• Thursday 6pm:   Kim & Gail Hakes have invited us to their home at 1017 8th Ave NW in byron. They are planning on serving Pork Sandwiches & Beer.. now that's a great combination!   Please bring a dish to pass, and if you have a different drink preference, bring that too.. but who would have a different preference, it's beyond me! 
• Weekend!  It's Twin Cities Marathon and 10 mile weekend, and I know a lot of Team R.E.D. members are totally ready to tackle it,  wow, it's going to be fun!  I'll update the weekend, in another post.   
• Reminder: I'm sending an email regarding carpooling to the Twin Cities for the weekends activity.  If you responded to my earlier request, you should see an update from me later tonight.  If you're in the TC events, and  didn't respond to me yet, but want to have this update, please drop me an email.. if you miss the original note, I'll get you added on round two.

Check back this week for links to things many RED members are eyeballing as big time fun!  Races such as Gamehaven True Cross Country run... Living History Farms run... Tough Mudder... Warrior Dash... We'll have links and descriptions posted Tuesday or Wednesday... all are sure to be a blast!
