Thanks, Congrats & Good Wishes!

Thank you to the Chm's for hosting the Bike, Beer & BBQ this past weekend!  What a fun event!  I would strongly encourage people to get on their bikes for the next one!

*******************************

Congratulations to Jim Li for completing the Berlin Marathon, and then promptly finding the beer, wine and Viena Schnitzel's!

Also, congrats to all the Team R.E.D. members who made the time cut for the Boston Marathon!  To be accepted into the event, you needed to beat your qualifying time by 2 min 28 seconds... that's exactly what Kasey did! While Ann gave herself a 3 second cushion!

Several members qualified but were not accepted due to the time cut-off.  None the less, those members are Boston Qualifiers!  That is a giant accomplishment!  Congrats to all of you for getting out there and getting after it!

Happy running and safe travels to Gwen, Matt, Kasey, Sonja and Kirsten... all traveling to Portland for a Marathon weekend! 

Also sending good running vibes to those in the Twin Cities Marathon and 10 Mile.  Remember, when you finish either of these races, make your way back up John Ireland Blvd to the giant American Flag.  That's where you'll find the Team R.E.D. party and cheer zone!  A cooler of cheap beer awaits!
