The Wahoo Beginners group wants to encourage beginners to start running, stick with it, set some goals, and have fun all the while. The runs are for all-comers and all abilitouties, whether you're a total novice or a long time runner that wants a non-competitive workout with a great group of people! Our group got its name when Jerry Steffy, a past group leader, mistakenly referred to the Yahoo Discussion Group as the "Wahoo Group!" If you've always wanted to start a jogging program with a little direction, now is your chance. All you've got to do is show up!
Right now, we need to find a new leader for the Beginner Group. If you’d like to help out, let This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. know. The “job” is really whatever you want to make of it. Nothing is set in stone. In the past, the leader has done one group run a week, usually on a weekday evening, sometimes all year but sometimes only in the “good weather months” (April-October). Sometimes the runs were just short (2-4 mile) easy-paced runs, sometimes (because of Jerry’s background as a track coach), they were a fun mix workouts. Jerry’s old workouts are available if you want to follow them, but there’s no requirement to follow any previous plan. What’s needed is someone to show up and encourage beginners. You can even be a “graduated beginner” yourself. Let me know if you’d like to do this.
If you have any questions about the runs, or if you'd like to help out with the runs, contact Marty Mazur at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

It was great for once not to have the humidity for our track workout! In attendance we had Kellie, Kathie, David L., Mikey, Pierce and Denise. Everyone did a super awesome job on their 800's with well under 10 min. mi./paces. Mikey and Pierce saw the hurdles and both decided to go for it. Happy to say both made it over without any injury :) We have a great group of runners this year and they ALL are doing a SUPER job along with tons of fun!
