Thursday is Upon Us!

Thursday at 6pm... Team RED is hosted by Emily & Larry at their home!  Very awesome to be invited... and looking forward to running some country roads!   I'm reposting some of the information so it's easy to find.. Check out the details below..

Emily and Larry can be found at 901 70th Ave SW Byron.  (don't get fooled on this address, as it's actually southeast of Byron, but west of Rochester).     Check out this link to bing maps.. as it shows their home located between Rochester & Byron and a bit south of Hwy 14     http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&pc=FACEBK&mid=8100&rtp=adr.%7Epos.44.009039_-92.578492_901+70th+Avenue+Southwest++Byron%2C+Minnesota+55920_901+70th+Avenue+Southwest++Byron%2C+Minnesota+55920&cp=44.009039%7E-92.578492&lvl=16&sty=r&rtop=0%7E0%7E0%7E&mode=D&FORM=FBKPL1&mkt=en-US
  • Wear something that represents your sports allegiance, whether it be a pro team, college team, high school team or what ever  you see has a fun thing.. Ramsey.. a fun thing, does not include some of the things you are currently thinking.
  • The Franck's will provide Sloppy Joe's, and water. If you wish, please bring a salad or snack to share, and BYOB of choice. Also bring a lawn chair.
    Routes will be 3 to 7 miles, with the first 1mile or 1.5 will be on gravel, and the last 1 or 1.5 will be on gravel.
    Please park on the road as newly planted grass seed has been planted along the drive way, so no parking on the grass!!! Thanks!

A couple notes on the week as it's progressed...   

Wednesday's speed session was on the Douglas Trail - about 10-12 runners took part, and it was a great workout.   If you're looking to move the feet... I suggest taking part in either a session like this, or the track workouts when they are available.  They may seem tough, but with others around, it's far more achievable! 
  • 1 mile warm up.
  • 12 repeats of point-2 miles with point 05 recovery (that's not very far, about 200 feet!)
  • 1 mile cool down followed by....
  • 3 mile tempo run
  • 1 mile cool down.. crazy but good! 
Tuesday's Trail Run was yet another fantastic turnout... with Mark giving quite a history lesson!  Everyone I chatted with found the night to be fantastic!  (some pictures are included below).

Monday's Maniac group got out in downtown Rochester and really enjoyed the night.  We met at Dooley's but that joint was packed when we got back, so we shifted to the Tap House to enjoy the roof (which was under construction!)   The Tap House is a great place none the less, and choices of beer are fantastic!

Check out the trail run pics below (I lifted them from Mason)... wow.. I'm jealous as I missed this one!  Not every run comes with a tour guide, but when it does.. that's great!
