"Hi there. I just stumbled onto this site. I'm looking for a supportive women's running group to help me get in shape to run a half marathon and then stay in shape throughout the school year.
I'm a musician in graduate school and find it really difficult to stay running while school is in session. I have run one marathon in the past and two half marathons as well a bunch of 5ks etc.
My current fitness level is about 3 miles at 11 min miles two or three times a week. I'm looking for encouragement and accountability. Please explain if there are fees attached to this organization. THanks! Esther
Hello Esther,
Forgive me for this delay! I get so many E-mails every day, I get overwhelmed! I try to answer them all personally but, sometimes they literally get lost in the shuffle. So, if I'm repeating myself, sorry, and if I haven't responded before today, please accept my apology.
I would love to have you join our group. We have several women in your pace area. The accountability is certainly a part of what keeps us together. The lower key aspect, due to it being a women's group, is also a factor.
There is a fee attached. You have a few choices on how you pay. I have found that this also keep women committed to following through. The cheapest long term commitment is an annual fee of $240 good for 12 months from your first workout with us.
We also offer $125 for 6 months, $24.95/month (on a recurring credit card basis), or $6 drop-in fee. With 6 workouts every week, if you can participate in even 1 a week, the membership prices are a good deal. Obviously some of us find it easier to "pay as we go" so the $6 drop-in fee is the smallest commitment.
We are currently training for the SFM Half on July 26, will move into training fro the Nike Women's Half on October 18, and will end our season with the CIM Marathon on December 6.
We also do much shorter distances for our training so, don't worry about being stuck always on long, long runs!
Please let me know if you have any questions, or better yet, join us soon. check it out!
Best,
Stephanie

Hi,
I recently moved to the Cole valley area and looking for a supportive group to pick up running. I am 30 years ols and in the best of my shape as of now but have a target to run 5k by December. Do you think that's an acheivable goal? If so, is this a suitable group to start with?
Thanks,
Nandini
Hi Nandini, Thank you for contacting The WOW Team! Unless you have some medical issues getting in the way, we can definitely get you ready for a 5K in December. What about doing the CIM Relay on December 6. This is a 10K relay with 4 team members. If you start training now, you can be ready to share in the fun! Best, Stephanie
