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

Tuesday Night Trail run... this week we'll start at Dan Lovik's home (1504 7th St NE. Rochester) at 6pm and run approx 1/4 mile to reach the trails of Quarry Hill!   The plan is to put in about 5 miles, and circle back to Dan's place for a cool refreshment! 
Wednesday Night Track...  the temps are cooling just in time for another great track workout at the Byron track (located behind the middle school).   This week, the two plans are... 2 - 200's /  12-400's /  2-200s (all with 200M recovery)  ... or.... 7-8 miles at tempo pace...
Thursday Night R.E.D....  There's a great race opportunity following the Mayo Open High School Cross Country meet at Eastwood golf course.  This Rochester Track Club event takes place at 6pm, immediately following the high school races.  There is no entry fee required, however you do need to sign a waiver and get you bib #.  You can do so starting at 5pm.    Post race, we'll gather for a fun social at a Rochester location yet to be determined.    
Note:  The race starts near the parking lots along Hwy 14 - Please, do not park at the clubhouse.
Saturday morning Long Run...  the Marathon and Half marathon training is reaching peek weeks!  Join us at 7am from the RAC for a great long run supported by volunteers with Gatorade, water and sometimes candy!
Sunday Morning Off Season Striders... the time and location has not yet been posted, but I'll be sure to update when it is.
Sunday Afternoon Hike...   this week the Oxbow park hikers are starting just a bit earlier and at a different bridge! We'll meet at 4pm from the 3rd bridge.  The 3rd bridge is found by entering the park area on the gravel road, driving past the zoo & campground parking lots, then the road turns 90 degrees to the right, the 3rd bridge parking lot is about 1/4 mile and on your left.
