Week Ahead... it's a big one!

The participants and volunteers at Fetzer 20K & 2 Mile Run to End Hunger were fantastic!   Team R.E.D. represented very well!  Take a look at the slideshow below, before getting into the week ahead!



A special Thank You to ServiceMaster of Rochester and Team Refuel with Chocolate Milk!   Their contributions to our Youth Scholarship Fund helped us sponsor kids into the Run to End Hunger!

... and now for the week ahead!

Monday 9am:   The Boston Marathon starts rolling at 9am Central time!  I know R.E.D. members, Andy H, Corrine and Trevor are all in!  Looks like a warm one.. stay hydrated and enjoy the experience!   Several other Rochester area runners are treking in Boston as well.. you can search for people at  http://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/participant-information/entrants.aspx  

Monday 6pm:  The Monday Maniacs start moving from Ron's place 1625 S Broadway.    Usually 5-6 miles and a cold soda afterwards.  Don G. is running a 15 miler Monday, and will tie it to the Maniacs.  If you want more miles, drop Don a note, and he'll let you know where and when to meet him.   donaldgabrielson@gmail.com

Tuesday 6:30pm:   Quarry Hill Quickie.. it's a slightly later start, so if the start time ever held you back, consider joining this week!   - Below are details from Jim. 

• Meet at 6:30 in the west parking lot near tennis courts and baseball fields.  Turn east off 11th Ave onto 9th St and go as far east as you can.  You'll run right into the parking lot. 

Wednesday 5:30pm:   Track night in Byron... meet at the track behind the middle school.   Turnouts have been getting stronger week after week, let's keep the momentum rolling

Thursday 8:15am:  Jim Parry starts his 24 hour endurance run!   He'll run a loop in Stewartville from 8:15am Thursday morning, running all day and through the night, until Friday morning!  If you'd like to join him, all you need to do is drive to Stewartville and connect.   He repeats the following loop, counter clockwise, so if you run clockwise, you'll catch him someplace along the way. 

• Thursday 6pm:   Team R.E.D. is gathering in Stewartville! Specific location still TBD.   
•  Let's run with Jim!  Adam W will get us started and we'll find Jim somewhere on the course.  Note:  Jim will be running very slowly, very slowly, so you might want to run with him... then loop around a block now and then, to get a little more tempo in the pace, and reconnect with him again.   Be creative! 
• Thursday 8:30-9pm timeframe:   Some of us will be at a track meet in Kasson at 6pm, so we plan to hit Stewartville when the meet is over (and we got into our running gear).  I would guess sometime after 8:30pm.    We'll also connect with Jim and then catch a social in Stewie.
