Nice work.. today and always! - Updates for the weekend, and Monday in this post as well.

Way to go Team R.E.D.!   So many of you are taking part in Jim Parry's 16 hour treadmill run for the YMCA!  He's a great role model for many young people, and he's raising funds for the Y!  His goal is $5,000!  You can help by going to http://www.rochfamy.org/ here and clicking Donate Now!

On another great note... Team R.E.D. received a fantastic Thank You card from our member Jean, who has run into a tough medical spot.  Many of us have seen Jean lately, and she's looking great!  There's more work ahead for her, so please keep sending prayers and good wishes...  Thanks to all of you for your generousity and thoughtfulness in giving her a gift certificate to Waiter Express.

If you are like me and can't read little print.. click on the card below, and you'll be able to read the card.  I, personally, am looking forward to the party!

• Saturday 7:15am:  The Marathon Training long run has route options of 13 and 15 miles.. this is a supported training run, you'll find gatorade and water, as well as some snacks from time to time! 
• Sunday 8:30am:  With Daylight savings time upon us, the Off Season Striders are splitting the difference and starting at 8:30am!  Meet at Panera South and get some fun miles in with the group.

This past Thursday night was well attended... and we celebrated Steve's new pair of shoes courtesy of TerrraLoco!    We celebrated with a round of Harvey Wallbangers!  What a fun drink to pronounce out loud.   Congrats on the shoes Steve... and thanks for the round!

Also note, with daylight savings time upon us, we can soon toss the headlamps!  Sweet!

Steve has an announcement!

"I won new shoes and I'm buying Harvey Wallbangers!"
