Marathon training completed. Congratulations to everyone that participated in AREC’s first complete Long Beach Marathon training group! Next month we look forward to hearing all about completing your first marathons!
Membership and T-shirts. If you haven’t paid membership yet (it’s a little late), you can join for the remainder of the year for $15. If you’ve joined, but haven’t received your T-shirt, please contact Todd Rose. He brings the shirts on Wednesdays, but can also be persuaded to bring a shirt to a Sunday run, if you contact him ahead of time.
On a similar note, we are looking into a new design for shirts next year. Some options are: short-sleeve, long-sleeve, sleeveless, or tank tops. Other options are color-design. One problem in the past has been little feedback into shirt style (especially sizes – some people would say “large” and then take a medium or small). We definitely take feedback into consideration; otherwise, let Todd pick the pink and green tank top shirts!
Marathon experiences. For next month’s newsletter, I’d like to do a compilation of your Long Beach Marathon experience. Please send a few sentences, paragraphs or whatever to edrahl@yahoo.com by October 29th.
AREC Runners of the Year. Congratulations to Emmett Rahl and Stacy Shourt on winning AREC Male & Female Runners of the Year. There will be more on the Pasta Party and LB Marathon in next month’s issue.
