Holiday Half Marathon 2013

On December 15th, Gritty City had its last USATF race of the 2013 year.  As part of the USATF Grand Prix competition, Gritty City competes with other track clubs around southern California.  The Holiday Half Marathon was the last race where Gritty could score points.  The course was relatively flat with some rolling hills which allowed a few grits to PR on this course.  The club's official score will be posted later.

Gritty Holiday Party 2013

This Holiday, we gathered at Salidang Song in Pasadena to celebrate a great year on the track. We had good Thai food and talked about life and running.

Right before starting their meal.

After eating, we welcomed new board members and congratulated old board members.  The new board members included club president Alex Bruno.  Alex was the original club president and has come back to lead the group again. 

We talked inside the restaurant until it was time to close.  We got this great shot of the group outside.
