While I can't say I "enjoyed" myself during the workout, I did get a great workout in and was very happy with my running this morning.

Yes! - I have a lot of information I can send you. Unfortunately, we are not doing another orientation but you can still sign up. We have some spaces left and training doesn't begin until January 6. Email me directly at gowowteam@gmail.com and I will send you the details. This will also include a survey so that we can talk over the phone about your goals and the reality of making them happen!

What is the time block for each of the Sunday workouts ? - Good questions, thanks for checking in. The weekend workouts will depend on the distance or time we are working out that weekend and your pace. That said, I try to start right on time. Our first 6 weeks will include a talk before the workout - approximately 30 minutes. So, our 6 miles workout plus talk will start at 8:00 and most of us Coach Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15996167084089725313Stephanie@AskAboutRunning.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797127866940975866.post-52484202298787754552009-12-08T13:33:00.001-08:002009-12-08T14:11:54.430-08:00California International Marathon Comments from "The Girls"
From Salina L - It went just fine! I finished with a time of 4:13:46 or something right in there. Like I said I didn't have any real expectations since I stopped doing the track workouts after I started having pain in my right left/knee. I ran the whole time with the 4:15 pace group and then ran hard the last mile and a half. My legs didn't feel so good starting at 18 miles but I just kept goingCoach Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15996167084089725313Stephanie@AskAboutRunning.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797127866940975866.post-81514903909742154992009-12-08T13:28:00.000-08:002009-12-08T13:50:19.903-08:00CIM Photos December 6, 2009 - The night before...Coach Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15996167084089725313Stephanie@AskAboutRunning.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797127866940975866.post-69722008564027612852009-12-03T08:32:00.000-08:002009-12-03T10:35:45.965-08:00Join WOW and Train for The Oakland Half Marathon or Twilight 5K

Dear WOW Members and Interested Readers,
First Things First

Small group but very tough ladies! We had 3 new women join us this morning. Welcome Elizabeth, Shauna, and Katherine. Sarah T drove from SF to do her 11 miles on this hilly course. Heidi H and Ellen G were also out there doing long runs for their upcoming half marathons in November.
It's always a pleasure running and walking with you ladies. Keep up the good work!
