Tonight and into the Weekend!

Hey all.. updates have been slow to come this week... but here we go!

• Tonight 6pm: Team R.E.D. gathers at the Beard Den in Byron!  We'll keep it mostly flat and on city streets... as hills, and trails are quite slick!  Wear a headlamp if you have one, and reflective clothing of course! 
• Saturday 7:30am:  Off Season Striders are gathering at Newts North in Rochester.  Woo will be your fearless leader. 
• Sunday 8:45am:  Come to help set up and rock the water stop for Lace Up Against Breast Cancer!
• Sunday 9am;  Run the Lace Up Against Breast Cancer 5K or 10 Mile.  Please see the note from the race director, John below:

For the safety of our runners we have made the difficult decision to shorten the half marathon route to ~10 miles due to significant ice on a portion of the course.

We are are also keeping our eye out on Sunday's weather...if it is just snow we will still have the events (10 Mile, 5K and Walk), although we might have to adust the courses. If it is freezing rain, then we will cancel everything. We will be making that decision late Friday or very early Saturday--we will post the information on our website www.luabc.org as soon as a decision is made.
Please email runluabc@gmail.com with questions.

Thank you for your understanding.

One of our Team R.E.D. members received a great honor last weekend, and we'd like to congratulate him!  Byron's Boys & Girls Head Track and Field coach, Charro Coleman actually received recognition on a few counts... at the Minnestoa State High School Coaches Banquet, Charro was recognized as:

• Minnesota Class A Girls Track & Field Coach of the Year!  Awesome recognition for a coach who works wonders with his athletes, sharing his passion while treating them all with great respect!  
• Section 1A Girls Track & Field Coach of the Year
• Section 1A Boys Track & Field Coach of the Year!   

Many of you may have already noticed, Charro was nominated at the Rochester Area Sports Banquet for Coach of the Year as well.    What a nice roll!

Congrats Charro!
