The Year 2011 in Review

Part 1 - Part 2 

The Week Ahead- Running Into 2012

Thursday Run

Gift Exchange - Bring a Gift you Would like to Exchange - Save a Trip to the Mall

We meet at 6 PM at the Fifth Ave Pavilion on the boardwalk in Belmar - Gift Exchange encouraged but strictly optional

Come Out to the Thursday Run this week.  We will have special treats to warm you up after the run and bring a gift you received that you would like to exchange for a "better" one.  Wrap the gift (you can use left over gift wrap) and leave off your name and everyone who brings a gift will be able to exchange it for a new one after the run.  That will save you a trip to exchange it at the mall and all those long lines as well.  Giving you more time to spend running.
