Running Clubs, Groups, and Partners: Running Group/Partner in SW Metro Minnesota

Good Afternoon,

I've started a group, SouthWest Metro Runnners of Minnesota... I know nice name, but I want to try a get specific with location.

Anyway, I've been running for a year, so still fresh in to the sport and formerly played football as a lineman.  I've done well with dropping weight, but the cold months are causing more issues on the knees. 

Anyone in the area, specifically Scott County know of any trailers/paths that stay pretty clean.  My country roads in Jordan get a little sketchy, especially if I need to push my 20 month old daughter.

I look forward to hearing from any MN runners.

Next Event I'm running is the Irish for a Day 5k, they now offer a ten mile option for those wanting more distance (I might push myself and do it).

Take care,

Marc
