Great Work Team R.E.D.!

There were several Team R.E.D. members racing over the past weekend!    Additionally... Team R.E.D. went to college... here's a shot of Dan with Laura at UW Eau Claire.   (I would guess the finger in the upper left of the photo is also that of a Team R.E.D. member, but that's just a guess).

As referenced below... Adam and Amber hit St Louis!   I stole this pic off facebook, I couldn't help myself... 

• Dan & Laura raced at Eau Claire... surely a friendly father-daughter competition was fun! 
• Adam & Amber found themselves in St Louis.. they are rocking out multiple states!  Fun!  
• Jessie completed her 1st Half Marathon .. I believe Meredith ran it as well.  Wow! That's awesome!
• Cathy completed her 1st 5K!  ... Amazingly fantastic!  
• Lori, Tom, Bri, Lana, Jennifer, Judy, Sue, Nacho, Pete & myself, all ran either the full or half in Mankato... with several PR's being the result!    -- by the way.. Pete won the half!  .. and Woo scored 3rd in his age group!  
• Adam, Jill, Esme, Erin, Andy & Wendy were top notch spectators!  

Below is a slideshow from Mankato... what a great day for racing!   Pictures are courtesy of a couple cameras, Tom's and Adams (I think!)...

For Living History Farms.. the announcement (although hard to hear).. was made at last Thursdays Team R.E.D. that we'd be wearing Red from head to toe.. you can achieve that in any fashion you choose, i.e. long johns, team red shirt, and a red bandanna.. or you can take the route several are taking, which is a full body suit.. morph suit!  Wendy and I are in the morph suit camp!

Check out this link from Paul T... and you'll see that you might want to cover up a portion of your body with Superhero undies if you go the morph suit route!

Here are a few links of places you can buy Morph Suits... some have your face fully covered, while some offer an open face.  Be sure to pay attention to the shipping timing, as you'll want this before LHF! (the third link is the least expensive one I found with free shipping).    The 4th link is also less expensive, available only in Plus size.   At one point, I was planning to do a group order, but I've received feedback from several who are not planning to wear these, so I suggest we each order on our own.

This week's Team R.E.D. is a costume party hosted by Mike & Jessica Schmitt!   We'll gather at 6pm at their home, 3415 Chalet Drive NW in Rochester.  Please consider bringing canned goods for the Food Shelf, and/or jackets, hats, mittens for an Outerwear Drive.

Tonight!  There's a Headlamp run on the trails of Oxbow!   Gather at 6pm at the 1st Bridge (2nd parking lot on your left as you enter the park).   This should prove to be quite the fun evening, as the trails are awesome in daylight, they will be amazing in the evening!  Bring along a cool beverage for post run... and don't forget your headlamp!  If you don't have one, I'll try and bring a couple extra, to share.... but as we get into the winter months, I do suggest it is a great investment, to help you be seen!
