Let's bring on another Week.... and another Home Host!

Monday 6pm:  It'll certainly be a great night to get out for a run or walk with the crew at Cowboy Jacks on South Broadway.  There are several options of routes from this location, and always a wonderful social, including peanuts in a shell upon return!
Tuesday 6:15pm:   The Tuesday Trail crew has been a super active one!   Join the fun at Willow Creek Reservoir located at 1343 Lone Pine Dr Rochester. It's a nice short loop of 1.8 Miles, you can run as many loops as you like! - Planning for afters in the parking lot, unless the weather is not good, then it's off to Fat Willies!
Tuesday 9pm: The Night Owls are never afraid of the dark! Join the crew on the Douglas trail for a great out and back.  We meet at the trail-head parking lot along Valley High and next to IBM.
Wednesday:  -  I have not heard from anyone about dong a track workout, so for now, no official workout is planned.  If you want one posted, let me know where you'll be, and I'll get it posted.
Thursday 6pm:  We are all invited to the Eide residence for a home hosted night! Join the run or walk, and stick around for the post workout fun!

• Dave & Elaine are located at 27116 675th Street, Kasson. Highway 14 ----  go about 3 miles West past Byron and turn left on County road 15 (270th Avenue) and go about 3-1/2 miles and turn left on 675th Street. We are the third mailbox on the left. We will provide pulled pork sandwiches, munchies and water. BYOB, a lawn chair, and a dish to share if you wish! 

... and it's Monday again!

Here we go.. a great week ahead!

• Monday 6pm - Monday Maniacs are heading to LTS.  This is one of the favorite spots for the Maniacs, and so, we're back!  Plan to run any distance you like and return for the social! LTS is located at 2001 32nd Ave NW Rochester. 
• Tuesday 6:15pm - Tuesday Trail Crew hits Julius's farm! There is a loop that crosses over itself at one point, so the distance options are nearly limitless.  The full loop is about 2.2 Miles. Bring a beverage and join the backyard social afterwards.  Julius is located at 46601 180th Ave Zumbrota - but due to some construction you'll want to follow the directions below. 
• Due to the overpass construction people coming from the south should turn off on 480 Street before you get to the Mazeppa exit and that road intersects 180 ave just south of us. If that is too confusing you can just take the 2nd Zumbrota exit (hwy 60) and then go back to the hwy 58 exit and let Google lead you to the address . A note we are just .5 miles past McDonald's on 180 ave and you can't see the house when you turn in the driveway just drive up the hill and it is there
• Tuesday 9pm - The Night Owls roll along the Douglas Trail, starting at the trail head located along Valley High Drive near IBM.  Break out the headlamp and join the fun on this great out and back location! 
• Wednesday 6pm - Speed work moves back to the track in Byron. We'll crank up the sound and run around! The track is located behind the Middle School at 601 4th St NW Byron
• Thursday 6pm - Team R.E.D. heads to the Bears Den! We'd love to see a big crew there for some routes of 3, 4 or 6 miles! - remember, walking and running are both options!- Eating and Drinking is too! 

Home Host Thursday!

Thursday 6pm - It's a home host!  We've all been invited to join Heidi at her place for a run or walk, and of course, come back for some great social time!  

Heidi is providing Sloppy Joe's, Chips & Veggies... she will have water and some beer. - Please bring a dish to share, and any other drinks you may want.  Our hostess is located at 715 2nd Ave NE in the charming community of Plainview.   See you there!

Tuesday 9pm - The Night Owls run the Douglas Trail from the trail head along Valley High near IBM.  It's always fun, and sometimes even more fun!
Wednesday 6pm - Speed work on the track at Soldiers Field.  It's fast, it's furious and it's all about getting better! - Did I mention it's always fun, and sometimes even more fun?  Well, it is!
Thursday 6pm - Home hosted by Heidi !  Home hosted nights are my favorite, and I'll get you all the details after tonight's cross country meet in Byron!

Tonight is the Tap House!

6pm Monday! - Tap House is the place to be for a Monday Maniac Run and of course a great social afterwards.  Sarah said she would be there if she didn't die, and I have seen photographic evidence that she is indeed still alive!

Keep it going!

Someday we'll be able to get back to the Byron track and enjoy that new sound system, but for this week, Soldiers Field is the spot.  If you need to warmup, and we all do, arrive a bit early so we can get into the workout at 6pm.
