Santa Cruz Island - Thanks Ernie!
After last week's trip to Santa Cruz Island, we all owe a huge thanks to Ernie. Not only did he make all the reservations and get us all into the right place at the right time (read: very early), he even managed to have about a hundred dolphins show up just at the right moment to accompany our boat for part of the ride over.

So – for anyone who is interested – a brief (ok – maybe not so brief) story of my first Triathlon.
Twenty Extraordinary Trail Running Years
Trail Runners Club 1988 – 2008
As I look back on the last 20 years the first thing that comes to mind is how much I’ve enjoyed the mountains, their gorgeous and challenging trails, the outstanding camaraderie we have experienced and the wonderful friendships we have formed with fellow runners.
I have experienced many wonderful high-lights during these years. A few of them include:
Do Not Pick a Fight With This Woman
Did you have a tough run last Sunday? Here is how Mieko’s run went up in Washington –A very tough 50 mile trail run in the elements:
Don’t Break Your Arm—But Pat Yourself On The Back
This is quite a group—These Trail Runners. After you’ve been with the group for awhile, you get little tidbits from members, and after a bit you realize that some of your pals are pretty amazing.
Marathons in 23 States...and Counting
Some people try in a lifetime to collect a postcard from each of the 50 United States. Others, like my crazy friend, Maureen, risk life and limb to collect photos of themselves crossing each state's state line. But the Trail Running Club's Rachelle Nesgoda and a group of dedicated runners has a goal that makes those shrink in comparison: she's setting out to run a marathon in each of the fifty states.
World's Oldest Marathoner
Buster Martin of the UK may become the world's oldest marathoner at 101 years old. He's already the UK's oldest employee as he still works a full-time job! He plans to attempt the London 2008 Marathon. He recently completed the Roding Valley half marathon in Essex on Sunday, March 2, 2008 in five hours 13 minutes.

Keep Topanga State Park Open!
Trail Runners Club founded and operated the Topanga Turkey Trot and Malibu Creek Trail Challenge races for several years before turning them over to the capable hands of a company called Generic Events, also known as XTERRA. Generic prepared the following information regarding the potential park closures...
On January 10, 2008 Ruth Coleman, Director of California Department of Parks and Recreation, announced that Topanga State Park would be one of the 48 State Parks closed if Gov. Schwarzenegger’s proposal to cut $13.3 million from the state parks budget is approved.
Residents of Los Angeles County who are opposed to the closure of Topanga State Park and other local parks need to contact the Governor and their state legislators immediately and ask them to work to keep our parks open. Let them know you oppose closing any of our California State Parks. Please act immediately as the state budget is now under consideration.

Westridge Course Takes a Hit
January 13th Garapito Trail
A beautiful morning greeted us for our always tough Garapito Trail. And Piotr returned after a year's absence due to a leg injury. Evidently, he will have to get used to following the arrows again. We had a pretty big turnout for this popular run.
Another Trail Runners Club video
This was another professionally produced video of the Trail Runners Club with some good interviews with members and scenes in the Santa Monica mountains.
