Awesome Volunteerism Team R.E.D.!

Nice work at the Team R.E.D. water stop for Lace Up Against Breast Cancer!   I also understand Steve, family and friends worked the other water stop.. and of course, other members were all over, at registration, finish line, course marshals and actually racing in the events!    You are all fantastic!

If you have not volunteered at a race, I would encourage you to consider.... it's an amazing feeling to support all those out trying to achieve either a time based goal, distance based goal, or to run in memory of someone.. very positive environment!

In the pic below I'd like to give a special Thank You to Katie!  She is pretty new to the running community, has been following Team R.E.D. and decided, "I should volunteer!".  She was full of  great energy and carrying the Team R.E.D. enthusiasm the entire time!  I hope we see more of Katie.

The rest of you were operating at your anticipated level of greatness, which is super fantastic, we can always count on you!  Yet, with that said, you get no special thank you.

The cold weather has nothing on this group! Great crew!   Don, Katie, Meagan, Tom, Christina, Renee, Dan, Lorelei... not pictured but super helpful is Dani! 

Below you'll see a couple Facebook comments regarding that water stop (and there were many comments).  The first a note from Race Director John.. (I have no idea why John thought he might have to use a get-out-of-jail card... no idea at all).

• A big thank you to Team Red for another outstanding waterstop at LUABC. For some reason, people seem to remember your location--considering how shy and reserved you all are, I don't understand why. Oh, by-the-way, glad I didn't have use my get-out-of-jail card on O'Leary.

Debbie from the St Cloud River runners had this to say... 

• Thanks for dancing with me! It was a great boost every time I went by you guys !!

There was a lot of dancing by Team R.E.D. (survival)... and runners, having fun in the moment!

After the volunteer gig.. a handful of members braved the chill again for snowshoeing!   It's so good!

The tough ones!  Negative 20 windchill doesn't stop a snowshoe event!
