Club BBQ Recap
Around 35 members enjoyed a comfortable afternoon at White Clay Park on 7/21.
Special thanks to Rachel for arranging and Rich for grilling! Beer, soda and lots of food gave us the energy for a spectacular Wiffle Ball game. The “instant classic” final was 17-16, decided in the bottom of the 9th (or thereabouts). Rudy Antonini was one of the defensive stars and there were no reported injuries. After more burgers, dogs & salad, a few of the brave then played a competitive game of volleyball. Muscles were surely aching in the following days.

Sunday Group Runs
A nice crowd of almost 20 met for the regular Sunday 8am Panera Run this week, despite the high humidity. Between our group and other runners and cyclists, it seems that everyone is pumped up from watching the Olympics. If you haven’t hit a Sunday 8am run, check it out. Most do an out-and-back course from Main Street into White Clay Park, so you can run as little or as much as you like. With 20 people, there are various paces and with others on the trail, you’ll never feel alone. No parking fees in Newark on Sunday mornings and most relax in front of Panera after running. Another option for next Sunday is…

Deseret News Marathon, Salt Lake City
This editor completed his 88th marathon in Utah last Tuesday. I would venture to say I’m the only club member who has done a marathon on that day of the week. Find out why on my blog as I recount my experience and as an added bonus give my recommendations on a Utah running trip (marathon account below Utah trip story). http://mccorq.blogspot.com/
