With threatening weather, JSRC gathered at
the dock on Friday the 13th! However the sky brightened and we were
treated to a beautiful night on the bay. Some may attribute this to
Laura's lucky charms and Barbara's lucky pants.
All enjoyed a sumptuous buffet dinner and open bar
and then danced the night away with DJ Nick.
Fall Cross Country Series
The traditional Fall Cross Country
Series will be starting on Saturday October 2nd at Thompson Park. The
series runs through Nov 6th with races at Tatum Park, Huber Woods and Holmdel
Park - all great courses and change of pace from the roads.. The series is
a lot of fun. The Club will be pitting in a team or teams. All ages and
abilities are welcome as the winning team is generally the one which can field a
full contingent every week. You don't have to run every race. There are
requirements to have women, master's and over 50 runners. Anyone interested
should contact Charlotte at CharWBarry@aol.com.

End of Summer Barbecue and Meeting
We will be having a very special
outdoor barbecue at next month's club meeting on Tuesday, August 31st. The club
will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage sandwiches, pasta salad and
drink. If you like, you can bring a covered dish or dessert to add to the
menu. Barbecue will be at the Deal Fire House starting at about 7:15
PM. All members are invited to attend - lots of surprises and guest
appearances.
NYC Marathon Bus
Anyone who is doing the NYC Marathon
should be thinking about their transportation to and from the Marathon start and
finish. A good choice would be the Central Jersey Road Runners Bus. It drops you
off at the start and then you meet in a building directly across from the finish
where there are refreshments. There are several busses so you don't need to wait
until the very last person finishes. Friends and relatives can also take the bus
and they can watch the start and meet you at the finish. The busses generally
sell out so check out the CJRRC Web Site for
more information

Greetings from the President!
Dear JSRC, Greetings from the
UK from Bill and Mark. Just a quick note to assure all that we are still
alive. An update on our excellant adventure.... We arrived in London
a week and a half ago and stayed with Adrian Harris on his canal boat. Then off
to stonehenge and over to Cardiff Wales for the world interhash. 5000
hashers from all over the globe. We were pleasantly surprised when JSRC
member Jim Buckler actually found us in a pub after the red dress run and we
shared a pint before he had to get back to London. The hash was great as
was the beer. (got your shirt, Jim) We left Wales and actually stayed with Karen
Charles "Mum" in Liverpool. Great Lady and great time.
Thank you Karen. Then up through the lake district and arrived in
Edinburgh, Scotland in time for a hashing event that started and finished at the
Caledonia Brewery. We stayed with a wonderful Scottish hashing couple last
night and will storm the Edinburgh Castle today. Weather has actually been
great. Attending a beer festival at a local pub tonight. If all goes
according to plan, we should be back Monday. Bill and Mark

Dear
Jersey Shore Running Club:
On behalf of the Pine Beach 5K Race Committee and the Borough of Pine Beach, I
would like to thank JSRC for it's help with the 6th Annual Pine Beach 5K &
One Mile Riverside Run.
We had a record number 875 enter in this year's race. With your support
this event has successfully and safely grown to one of the largest races in
Ocean County. This would not have been possible without the help of your
dedicated club members and those members who participated in the race.
Thank you very much.
