I've been running for leisure and exercise for the last 7 years, ever since I moved to Belmont Shore. This year I decided to become one of the runners in the Long Beach marathon instead of one of the people watching from the sidelines. It's a daunting task but with the help of BeachRunners I know I can do it!

Personal Records (PR's):
5k - 27:45
Half Marathon - 2hr 25min
Favorite Place to Train:
On the beach path between the Belmont Pier and Downtown LB.
Completed Races:
AFC Half Marathon - 2hr 25min
Pacific Open Water Challenge 2008 5k Run - 27:45 (3rd place in age bracket!!)
Revlon 5k Walk
RoadRunner Sports 10K
Running Goals:
A respectable finish of the Long Beach marathon!
Post run indulgance:
Anything from Babette's Feast!!
Other sports I like to do:
Tennis, yoga, bootcamp, spin class...pretty much anything to get out an exercise.

Hello.
Yaaaaa Vera. You did awesome on Sunday. Congrats. I'm very proud of you. I'm still debating on the Fall training. We will see. I have some tightness on my calf and hamstrings. I had to walk aot more then I wanted too. I did finish.
How are you doing? Sorry I miss you guys on Thursday and Saturday. My car was getting repaired. Ahh I hate when this happens. I hope all is well and I hope to see you on Saturday. 4 hrs and 25 min Wooooow
Hello,
How was the wedding? The LSD was not bad. I was able to meet at Long Beach. The first 30 min was good but the heat got me alittle going back. I just hate when I run back and people pass me up..Ahhhh I hate it. I just keep going and focus on my Chi-Running. Have a awesome week and I hope to see u Saturday.
Aloha..
Thank you Vera.. Well I did to the LSD on Saturday but sadly I was not at the park. I had to do it earlier. It was not to bad. I took my time, drank my powerade, ate the blocks and I was good to go. I hope to see you on Saturday. How was your trip?
