Here comes the sun... !

According to the worlds #1, top of the line, superstar, meteorologist Cindy Morgan... it's going to get warmer. Really, it is!

CALL TO ACTION:

Please read the message below from Team R.E.D. member Alyssa Hogan (I know many of you know the wonderful Hogan family). - and as a side note, Alyssa has moved a bit closer, now residing in Eau Claire!

She has wonderful trail running friends from Wyoming, currently in Rochester, seeking medical treatment. She is reaching out to see if we can get together a Meal Support for them while they spend time getting healthy in Rochester Minnesota.

If anyone can help with a meal and if someone smarter then me could help create a schedule, sign up page. That would be totally amazing. A great way to share our support for others. If you can help, please reply to the post in Team R.E.D. Facebook or email me at byron.teamred@gmail.com if you can offer some help. Thanks so much for considering!

See Alyssa Hogan Larsen message below.

When we left Jackson Hole, we left the running club (Teton Trail Runners) in the hands of these two amazing friends... Unfortunately, Travis is facing some serious health issues and he and Monika are on their way to Mayo in Rochester, MN. Give them a boost if you can... and if you're one of my Team R.E.D. running peeps, let me know if you'd like to help with a meal while they're in Rochester! 😘 🏃🏻 🏃‍♀️ #runtribe

A handful got out for some miles from the Bears Den last night.. with the wind as light as it was, the evening was actually a pretty nice night for some miles!

Mike, Brian, Wendy, Sonja, Don, Adam, Sarah and Kasey staying warm!

I really encourage you to get to Saturday's Polar Bear Prediction 5K. It's super fun... you predict your time and the person closest to their prediction, without finishing too fast, wins! In fact, the 10 people closest to their predictions win!  The awards are hand carved Bears, provided by Roger!

You can win this event as a super fast runner, a medium runner, a slow runner or as a walker for that matter. 

You can register online at at http://rochestertrackclub.com/main.asp?SectionID=3&SubSectionID=28&ArticleID=1022 or on Race Day at Gloria Dei church in Rochester. Please park on the street to keep room for church goers, as the church is also performing a funeral service Saturday morning.

Registration is just $10 for Track Club members, and $15 for non members.  All registrants receive a warm hat, and a nice lunch is provided by the Rochester Track Club after the run.

Here's a look at the next few days.

• Saturday 9:30am:  Polar Bear Prediction Run Gloria Dei Church. Predict your time, and take off your watch! - no cheating!
• Sunday 8am:  Off Season Striders get rolling for 5-West along Circle Drive in Rochester. This may be the warmest it's been in weeks! 
• Monday 6pm:  Monday Maniacs are heading to Grand Rounds in Rochester. This is a great spot to get us around the city, and back for the social! 
• Tuesday 6pm:  TerraLoco is hosting a Resolution Night! - It starts with a group run at 6pm.  Various organization will have information tables set up for you to visit if you like (Team R.E.D. and SE MN Trail Runners will both be represented).  
• At 7pm, there is a panel of guest speakers lined up to share some great stories of motivation, perseverance and the like...
• Tuesday 6:15pm:  Carely State park is the host site for the Tuesday Trail Crew. This is a fun park to run and a favorite of many! Meet at the first parking lot. 
• Tuesday 9pm: The Night Owls are burning the midnight oil (well, the mid evening oil anyway).  Join the crew at Beetles Bar & Grill on 2nd Street in Rochester. 
• Thursday 6pm:  Team R.E.D. is gathering at Brothers Bar & Grill and heading down the path to happiness (or to Silver Lake!).  When we meet at Brothers, please park in the back, and we'll do the route talk just inside the back doors.
