Dedicated to those SF Marathon Participants. You did it! This includes all participants in the full marathon, both half marathons, and progressive marathon 5K. Great job!
Dear WOW Members and Interested Readers,
Lots of things going on… new members, races, parties, workshops, etc. So, let’s get started filling in the details.
The SF Marathon was a great race and The WOW Team was well represented. Jeanetta M, and Peggy ran the whole 26.2 miles! WOW! Jen W, Kimberly L, Coach Stephanie, Jennifer B, Jennifer M-C, and Danielle M ran the half marathons. Christy G, Sonia B, and Marly N, did The Progressive Marathon and Marina S joined them on the day of the 5K for the final 3.1 miles. I hope you all had a great time. I had fun and I love my new t-shirt!
Kathleen G hosted a wonderful party for all of us on August 1. About 25 WOW members attended. Thank you Kathleen. The weather was terrific at her Berkeley home. She has a back yard to die for. Thank you also to Marcell and Joey for their help at the party and their graciousness in letting us use their home.
Ben, from Mizuno Shoes, made a special trip to talk to our group about shoes, gait, etc. It was informative and one lucky lady, Sherril J, won a free pair of Mizunos in the drawing. Thank you Ben, for everything. We Love Mizunos!
Training for Nike Half, CIM Marathon or Relay Has Begun!
Please ask for your training program for whichever of these events you are planning to participate in. And, signup for CIM – The Marathon directly and the Relay (with me) before September 1 for the best price. http://runcim.org
Send me a check for $25 (for registration only) if you are handling your own lodging. Send me a check for $115.00 if you want to stay in a room with 2 queens and share the room. I also need your name for registration; your age, address, and t-shirt size (indicate women’s or men’s size). Look on the cim site to get more details on all of this. Please make your checks out to ALTB International, Inc. and mail to me at 525 Crestlake Drive, SF, CA 94132 or bring to the next workout. Thank you! Remember, the price goes up on September 1. Also, the race has a maximum number and once that is reached we won’t be able to add more participants.
Assistant Coach Training this Sunday 10 – 4:00 at Piedmont Track
This Sunday I will be holding a clinic for any of you who are interested in becoming an assistant coach. If you are already a member (monthly recurring, 6 months, or 1 year) you are invited to attend for no charge. For others, there is a $79 fee for the one day training. The purpose of the training is to go through the skills necessary to assist in coaching/mentoring a group like the WOW Team. You will learn:
• Coaching techniques and theory
• What goes into planning a workout
• The other parts of training outside of “running”
• What motivates people
• Mapping routes and marking them
• Cross training in a gym
• And more
There will be an unpaid intern time of 6 months to work with the WOW Team, after which, there may be paid positions available. I’m looking for anyone who is interested in learning. Your skill level doesn’t matter. What I want more than anything is to have assistants who are reliable and who care about people. I am hoping that you would be able to help me out at least every other weekend (or weekday). So, reliability and availability are important. I would like WOW to expand and I need qualified, competent assistants. Those who are comfortable with leading a group will have the opportunity to form their own WOW Team in the future or to continue working with me in a paid position.
Call or E-mail me to RSVP or, if you have questions. Thank you!
