Marathon Training continues! There is a great dedicated training group for the marathon and half marathon in Long Beach on October 15th. The longest distance runs are upon us now. Even if you are training for neither, consider coming out and assisting with a water station on one of the two 20-milers.
AREC Beach Party. AREC held its Beach Party on August 5th at Bolsa Chica State Beach. Bernard Dean Mills manned the grill, Margaret Everitt and Roberta Bonifacio coordinated the food effort (and there was PLENTY!). Although the weather was a little breezy (wind-aided egg toss?), a good time was had by all… even Connor & Andrew Stevens who showed up just in time… to help clean up.
Distance Derby. Thirty-five ARECers participated in either the 5- or 10-mile race (30 in the 10-miler), including most of the Marathon and Half Marathon training group. Liz Burger achieved an Age Group medal, and everyone ran well. Afterwards, many of us headed over to Jose Raffucci’s for a pool party, complete with beer and the grill artistry of Jaime Ybarra.
