Sweet Night! Plus, weekend stuff, as well as news & notes from RTC...

Thursday's Team R.E.D. was a great success! It was a beautiful night to hit the country roads... and that's just what we did!

Welcome to a new member, she is familiar to many of you, but now officially a Team R.E.D. member.... Welcome Lindsey!

Lindsey Joins Team R.E.D.!

Many thanks to our hosts, Lorelei and Jim... the food was fantastic, and the fire was a great touch!

• Saturday 7am RAC run officially starts at 7am and the route is planned for a bit over 19 miles.  Several people are starting at 6am, if you care to get a jump start.  
• Saturday 8am: Fesitival Run in Kasson. Test your speed in the 10K or 5K
• Saturday 8am: Chatfield Western Days 10K. This event allows you to run multiple races with a 2 mile starting at 9:15am and a 1 mile Fun Run to follow that.
• Sunday 6pm Oxbow hike  from the 1st Bridge.   Last week the crew traveled 4.5 miles through the park.   A great workout, and great company.   Bring a snack and beverages of your choice to hang out a bit post hike.

I have a few bits of news to pass along from the Rochester Track Club.  The following was provided by Dual Citizen (RTC & R.E.D) Jean Murray.. Thanks Jean!

• The last price break for Rochester Half ends tomorrow. Registration w/need to be online via Running Room or postmarked today/tomorrow. Thank goodness the down-loadable reg form is once again!
• The RTC Pot-luck Picnic is coming up!  Thursday, Aug. 25 at Soldiers Field East Pavilion.  This year, we will begin the evening with a trash pick-up at 5pm.   The picnic will start immediately after (5:40ish or a bit later)   contact Sonja Kranz if questions (ziehen2@charter.net)
• The RTC Board is seeking candidates to fill a few key roles for the support our club and mission:  Due to a resignation earlier this year, RTC has a vacant RTC 2011 board seat. We’ll likely have seat(s) vacate in 2012 as well. RTC is very much a working board (tasks and activities over/above commitment to participate in monthly board meetings), however, it’s a fun group that does a lot to support youth fitness and running events in our community.
• The Board is also interested in launching an `RTC Volunteer Recognition` program. We are looking for non-board member(s) interested in helping with that initiative.
