Workin' for the Weekend!

Here it is!  The glorious thing we call The Weekend!   I had missed the Saturday long run on the look at the week, so wanted to get that out there before I head off to work...  more updates regarding Sunday and into next week will follow...

• Saturday 7am:  The Marathon & Half Marathon Training long run starts and finishes at the RAC.   The Marathon route is roughly 16 miles... so half marathoners can anticipate about 8-9 miles.   The long route can be found at http://runningrochester.blogspot.com/
• Saturday 8:15am:  The Rochester Track Clubs Woman's Race. This a 4 Miler around Silver Lake, and is part of the RTC Grand Prix Series. You can get more information and register at http://rochestertrackclub.com/main.asp?SectionID=3&SubSectionID=28&ArticleID=618
• Sunday 7:30am:  Off Season Striders are gathering at Panera South for a group run, followed by coffee and chatter.  This group is typically 5-8 miles with varied paces.  Join in the fun!

Team R.E.D. Pentenial Celebration!  

Come one! Come all!

If you can get there for just a piece of it.. do it!  

Bears Den in Byron

Volleyball Courts/Deck Reserved for Team R.E.D.

Team R.E.D. is celebrating the success of our first 5 years of existence!  It's hard to believe it's been 5 years, but it has! A lot has happened over the years, we'd love to get everyone together, current active members, members who are less active than they used to be, and those who are just considering becoming members!  Come celebrate and meet your teammates! 

What will happen at this celebration?  

• We'll be outside at the Bears Den, so dress accordingly for the weather.  In fact that whole outdoor area is reserved for Team R.E.D!   We'll have the patio as well.  Right now, the forecast looks like Sunday afternoon will be 72 degrees with slight chance of rain.  Of course, if the weather turns poor, we'll move inside!  
• You can consider the entire celebration a social event, with some interruptions for Pentenial Awards and various contests with prize winners! 
• You might consider tossing chairs or blankets in your car in case you wish to sit in the grass.  

What is provided?   

• Team R.E.D. and the Den are providing 1 Free Keg of Mich Golden Light!
• Team R.E.D. is providing a variety of appetizers throughout the late afternoon.
• ServiceMaster of Rochester is providing a sound system to keep the party rolling with great music!   
• Prizes from our fantastic sponsors!  

What does it cost to attend?  

• There is no charge to attend! And still the beer is free and the appetizers are free! *While supplies last*
• Also Note:  Team R.E.D. is in the midst of our renewal campaign, and we'd love to have you take care of that at the party.   Renewal is just $10 each summer, however, if you joined Team R.E.D. this calendar year, you are not due until summer of 2015.  

Can I bring my kids?  Or a friend?

• Yes! And Yes!  

I haven't  come to Team R.E.D. in a long time.  I'm not even sure if my membership is current. Am I still invited? 

• Yes! Come re-unite with members you'll surely remember, and meet some of the many new faces!
