Residents of Chesterbrook Residences proved recently that you are never too old to participate and triumph in Olympic Games.

Chesterbrook Residences kicked off its own Wii Olympics on Tuesday, August 12th with competition between the green and the yellow teams in the Wii bowling event. The competition was heated and team members were cheered on by their fellow residents who showed equal enthusiasm for both sides. Highlights of the event included a visit by Steve Gurney, publisher of the "Guide to Retirement Living", along with his five-year old son.

The next event will be against volunteers at Chesterbrook on August 19th, followed by games against the local fire department the next day. On August 21st the teams will take on the staff of Chesterbrook.

Our physical therapist Debbie Adams completed the San Diego Rock and Roll marathon on June 1st. There were approximately 20,000 particpants. Start time was 6:30 am and the 26.2 mile course went through some very scenic areas of San Diego - Balboa Park and Mission Bay.

According to Debbie, "A rock and roll marathon is just what is sounds like. Rock and roll bands are dispersed through out the entire course (over 40 in this case). So it's quite inspirational when you're at mile 20 and wondering why the heck you're running a marathon, to hear a classic ACDC tune. It helps to kick start that second win. My daughter and I ran it together. As a matter of fact, she is the reason I ran it. She asked me if I would run a marathon with her, so I had to say yes. We picked the San Diego run because I heard it was a nice level course and the weather is typically quite mild. It was a wonderful mother-daughter experience."
