Thoughts and Prayers

I'm sorry to share with you that the Nepstad family suffered an incredible loss. Ann & Mike's daughter Rachel passed away Saturday - the family can certainly use support in the form of prayer, please send thoughts and prayers to Mike, Ann, Aaron, Shane, Jarrett, Lauren and their entire family.

We did have a wonderful time at both the Donut Run and the Mason Run @ Chester Woods.  I'll share results from those events in the next day or so... it just doesn't feel like the time to celebrate those things.

This weeks weather looks like it'll be mostly dry and warming nicely. 

• Monday 6pm:  Monday Maniacs are heading to Forager in Rochester.  What a great new location for us... after your run or walk, you do have the opportunity to help celebrate Gwen's Birthday!  - and here I thought she was ageless! 
• Tuesday 6:30pm:  The Tuesday Trial crew is heading to the Great River Bluffs of Winona! What a fun spot to gather with trail runners and enjoy! - See details below.
• Let's explore the awesome trails and Mississippi River vistas of Great River Bluffs State Park! We'll do about 5 over the rolling ridgetops of the park and go to at least a couple awesome vistas overlooking the river valley (including the one in the photo above). Note the later start time as this is a bit furthur from Rochester. Meet at the first parking lot on the left past the park kiosk. Rumor has it they're be car pooling opportunities from Rochester. Bonfire after, bring your smores, brats or toufu dogs!
• Wednesday 6pm: If someone is interested in leading a track workout - the track in Byron is available.  I am currently committed to a Track & Field banquet, so I will not be there. 
• Thursday 6pm: Cancelled  Team R.E.D. heads to the Bears Den in Byron.  Plan to run or walk 3, 4 or 6 miles.. and come back to the Bears Den for the social!
