No Fear of Rain

Team R.E.D. members are staying after it regardless of the rain... nice work all!

Congrats to Lorelei  for a great run at the Nashville Rock n Roll Half Marathon... she ran into, and met for the first time (I believe) another Team R.E.D. Member Jim Raasch from Zumbrota.  Jim completed the full marathon at Nashville in his quest for 50 states.

An interesting note on Jim, he has completed all 6 of the World Marathon Majors!  What are the 6 Majors?  Try Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, NYC and most recently added, Tokyo.  Congrats Jim!
