Doc was away this week. So after Peter’s administrative messages, the groups left for their runs.

Ivie’s Refreshment Stand:
Thanks to staffer Ivie K. so much for the huge spread at table duty. Fruits, cookies, pretzels, and all sorts of drinks were available!! We all needed it after our longer runs on a very hot morning.
Mahalo! [Read more →]

Doc’s Talk:
Dr. Scaff spoke briefly about vitamins and its effects. Doc cut his talk short so we could load up the buses on time. I am sure we will hear more about this topic in the near future. Thanks, Doc!

Bus Run:
Approximately 130 runners boarded two buses and got dropped off at various locales along the eastern coast of the island. Rosemary had most of the beginners get off at the second beach park and ran along the marathon route. Luanne with many of the super walkers got off at Hi Kai and did their power trek back to the park. The AB’s, Intermediates and Advanced Groups went on to Sandy Beach and Makapuu. Thanks to all of the members who donated more than the bus fare for the benefit of the clinic. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

Beware of parking this Sunday:
The Century Bike Ride is scheduled on Sunday so please make accommodations for parking. Thank you Rosemary and others for the notice. [Read more →]

There was no Doc Talk today as Dr. Scaff was away.

Much mahalos to the staff leaders for putting together a great refreshment center for table duty.

Bus Run:
Please remember the Bus Run next week and please check with your group leader as to your bus stop. As mentioned, the furthest point will be Makapuu Point, approx. 15 miles back to the park. There will be other stops so as stated, please check with your leaders. 135 runners have signed up so far on the signup sheets. [Read more →]

Doc’s Talk:
Dr. Scaff spoke about cholesterol and mentioned some interesting facts which seemed contrary to popular opinion. He mentioned that eggs, alcohol, and beef (in moderation, of course) are perhaps not as bad as we think for our cholesterol.

Table Duty:
Much thanks to the husband and wife duo of Libby and Bob L. for the great refreshments. The watermelon was great!

Special thanks to Nelson S. of the Purple group who provided refreshments on his own for the all of the runners who showed up last week on our “informal” run.
