Three Years Ago

It was three years ago we lost a great friend.   Paul Melby will forever be in our hearts.  As those who met him, will never forget him.  Those who didn't, will continue to hear the stories, the laughs, the joy he brought us.   Please takes some time today to send prayers to the entire Melby family, and if you're so inclined, raise a glass in Paul's honor tonight!

I stole the image below from Joe... it's Paul's finish time at Lake Wobegone Marathon as he reached his dream of becoming a Boston Qualifier.   His memory lives through us.... be good to each other.

Paul would be proud of everything that is happening in this club!  You are rocking it!    The next few days are full of fun!   Before we get to that... here are a few pics from this week.

Team R.E.D. Metro is building.. they got out for a Tuesday evening of fitness & fun!   We do have a growing number of members in the Metro area, so you will be seeing some updates as to 'what's up Metro!"

Go Metro! 

The Trail crew got out to Millville (which is always super fun!).  I'm only guessing they didn't spend much time in the creek, as it's chilly this time of year!

Go Trail Crew!
