The Weekend is Here!

Wow... the warmer temps are nice in many regards, however, snowshoeing is likely on the back burner for a bit, at this point I would not anticipate a Sunday Snowshoe Crew.

• Saturday 7:15am:  The Saturday Morning Marathon Training Runs are starting up again! Meet at the Rochester Athletic Club on 19th St in Rochester. The run is supported by volunteers with water, Gatorade and sometimes additional treats.  -  Bring $1 to participate (and sign a waiver).  You do not need to be a member of the RAC or any local running club to participate.  
• Sunday 8am:  Off Season Striders keep it rolling from Brothers Bar & Grill on Broadway in Rochester.  Park in back and get some miles! 
• Sunday 9am:   The 507 Running crew is heading to Quarry Hill for some miles.  Meet at the parking lot near the nature center.  This group has been getting out regularly on Sundays!
• Monday 6pm  The Monday Maniacs are heading to Brothers Bar & Grill...and as you now, let's park in back and gather there. Then get out for the fun!  

If you're looking for lodging for Grandmas Marathon - Two members have a room available in their St Scholastica Suites.  Drop me an email at byron.teamred@gmail.com and I'll get you connected with Rick or Sonja to find you a resting place at a great price!
