Big Night! Big Weekend!

This is a long post with details regarding many events... hit the bullets that fit your fancy....

New Member!  At Wednesday morning's progressive run we welcomed Beth to the team!  She still needs to receive her shirt, and have your picture taken!  Beth is a great addition to the team... I'll get a picture of her up here, as soon as I find one (didn't have my camera at the morning workout!)

Wednesdays Track Workout was a little light on runners.   But the workout was strong none the less.  This group started with a 300M ... and followed it up with 12 400's with 200M recovery.  Much of this workout, in the rain!  Nice work!





On to tonight!  Team R.E.D. Thursday!   We're hosted by Amy and Dan, gathering at the clubhouse of Somerby Golf Course in Byron.  This should prove to be a lot of fun!  We'll get our typical run or walk routes of 3, 4 or 6 miles.   Then, weather permitting the plan for post run will include an evening on the patio.. with ServiceMaster of Rochester picking up the tab on several pizzas, pitchers of beer and wine!  When that free ride runs out...  Somerby is offering $7 pitchers!

• Saturday 7am:  The Marathon training long run heads out from the Rochester Athletic Club.   The distance for this week is 19.6 miles!   Yes.. it's time for the long runs to be long!  You can find the route map at http://runningrochester.blogspot.com/
• Saturday 8am:  Chatfield Western Days holds their annual 10K & 2 Mile.   If you're interested, you can do both!  10K at 8am.. and 2 mile at 9:15am.   Find more details at http://rochestertrackclub.com/main.asp?SectionID=3&SubSectionID=28&ArticleID=139
• Saturday 8am:  Kasson is hosting the Run for Rachel 5K.  Note Team RED on your entry form and receive $5 off!   This race is geared at fostering unity in the community following the tragic loss of 13 year old Rachel Ehmke.  More details at http://rochestertrackclub.com/main.asp?SectionID=3&SubSectionID=28&ArticleID=138
• Saturday 1pm:  Team R.E.D. on the River!   So far somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 R.E.D. members are heading out to the Mighty Mississippi for a day and/or overnight on the river.   This should prove to be a great night with the forecast looking very favorable!  There's still time to join the group by dropping an email to Dan at dan@svmrochester.com
