I was invited by a couple of UnitedLA runners to run with the GRVL Runners of Long Beach last Wednesday night. I figured, it’s summer… why not? So I made the drive from the Fullerton area.

![About 2 miles into the run, we stopped for a group photo at the lighthouse.](http://meinthebalance.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/lighthouse.jpg?w=748&h=499)
![The rest of the route took us through the Pike and down the Promenade where we ended in front of the Beachwood BBQ & Brewery.](http://meinthebalance.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/grvl2.png?w=748&h=748)
