Posted by Mark Casas at Aug 7, 2002 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

Runners of the Day - Nathaniel Moore and Daniel Lee

It takes a team effort to reach our goals.  Whether you need to get healthy in the mind or in the body - get there!  There was loads of promise on this day.  Some of you fell sort, some of you stepped up, but NONE of you should ever be satisfied.  There is still much work to be done in order to reach our goals.  How hard are you willing to work in order to capture glory?

Summer Training Camp Begins August 11th
Get ready for extreme training in the mountains around Big Bear Lake!

There is one quality which you must possess to succeed, and that is clarity of purpose. This is the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to achieve it.

This year’s summer running camp will be at Big Bear. The team will leave La Mirada on Sunday, August 11th at 12 noon and return the following Sunday. Morning and evening runs, lots of hills and miles of trails will be the highlight of this years camp.

Good news:  Only a 20 second gap between first and fifth finisher with a decent preseason pace (considering it was run on TIRED legs).  PR's for Jen, Ana and Briana.  Strong efforts from Sonia, Marlene, Kendal and Megan after their recent illnesses.  Not-so-good news:  Audrey and Vanessa didn't race!
