Marathon Training almost over! The last week of marathon training is upon us. It will be a nice short run… since everyone should be tapering by now. So, even if you are not planning on running the full- or half-marathon, come out and run and show your support. Then… in a week plus, pick a good location along either course (or where they overlap) and cheer on your fellow ARECers. If you have extra energy, why not even run a mile or so with a tired marathoner at mile 22 or 23. I ran with about 25 different people last year, and they said it really helped!
AREC Pasta Party. The annual AREC Pasta and AWARDS Party will be held on Friday, October 13th from 6:30pm to 10:30pm at the Pacific Condo Clubhouse (850 Ocean). Location is near the corner of Ocean & Shoreline. Parking is available on Shoreline (just below Ocean on the left – U-turn at Linden, turn right). AREC provides the soft drinks, plates, silverware, and pasta/sauces. There is a sign-up to bring appetizers or salad. A flyer was e-mailed last week and Todd will have copies available at the runs.
