A Monday Morning Catch-All

It seems like a lot happened since we last posted on Friday. To get everybody back up to speed for the start of the week, how about one post with a lot of subjects? Like ...

-- Preliminary results from the Team Circuit competition at the MDRA 15K saw Run N Fun's open men's team beat GEAR to add to their lead in the season-long standings. If the results are confirmed, RNF may have sealed the title for 2007 -- owning a five point margin over their rivals with only the City of Lakes 25K left to run.

-- In open women's competition, GEAR beat Run N Fun at MDRA to keep things interesting on that side of the ledger. RNF still leads GEAR by 3 points going into City of Lakes.

Results from the MDRA 15K -- both individual and team - can be found HERE.

-- MDRA's Heidi Keller-Miler wrote us yesterday to get the word out that this Wednesday's Como Relays may not run as scheduled. Saturday's storm turned the park into a "war zone" of fallen trees, she said. MDRA organizers plan to decide by Tuesday whether this week's edition of the late-summer relay classic will run as planned.

Check back at DtB or the MDRA web-site for the final word.

-- Team USA Minnesota's Brad Lowery finished third at the Falmouth Mile on Saturday. Lowery clocked 4:02.54 -- less than a second off his PR of 4:01.67. Jonathon Riley won the race in 3:57.07.

-- Duluth native Kara Goucher hasn't made an appearance in a big European race yet this summer. You can find out why and read about the preparations she and her husband Adam are making for the IAAF World Championships in Osaka, Japan on the Goucher Blog HERE.
