Well, summer is officially over. Can you believe that it is October already? I certainly can’t. You probably are noticing that it is getting dark toward the end of the run. This means that it is especially important that you watch out for cars AND wear reflective clothing!
The most important item of note is the LONG BEACH MARATHON on October 13th. That’s actually next weekend! There are a few events associated with the marathon for AREC of which you should be aware:
Friday, October 11th. AREC Pasta/End of Year Awards Party at Tracy Nicholson’s house (3436 Marna) from 6:30 – 10:30pm. This will be a potluck pasta party and should be lots of fun. If you are interested, please RSVP to T. Rose or myself (either in person, e-mail or phone).
Saturday, October 12th. Marathon Pasta Party. OK, I know you’re thinking, ‘back-to-back pasta parties?’ But, this is a whopper. For $16, you get all-you-can-eat pasta, AND run of the Long Beach Aquarium (reg. admission $15)
Sunday, October 13th. THE MARATHON. Even if you are not running any of the events (full, half, bike tour, inline skate, or 5K), please consider helping out officially, or coming out to support AREC (and other) runners.
I still appreciate an article or an update (on ANY topic). Also, if you have news that you would like to pass onto everyone, that is coming up sooner than the next newsletter, please feel free to e-mail your announcement to arec-lb@yahoogroups.com
