44 Members and Counting!

Whoop Whoop! The WOW is now up to 44 members! We're so excited to meet the new people soon and get together with our recently acquired friends again.

We decided that to keep the momentum going we are going to meet as scheduled on Saturday, February 14 for our 7 am walk/run. We know a.) it will be cold, b.) it is Sweetie Pie day.

But-if you get that early morning workout in, you will perk up your metabolism, so you can eat MORE chocolate on Valentine's Day!

The weather will be cold, but check visit Runners' World online to find out how to dress appropriately.

I checked it out the day of the Polar Bear run and was toasty warm even in the 5 below wind chill!

We have a few things we are pondering and I guess the necessities of getting our club started.
1. How to contact everyone-(we don't want you to miss out on the good stuff!)

2.Identify who runs/who walks so everyone can have the best workout/experience!

3.Emergency contact information
Michelle brought this up and it is a very good idea.

For all of these reasons, we feel we need an official "roster" so to speak. In this roster we would like to include your First and Last Name, Best phone number, Address, Email, Emergency Contact Information, Identify Runner or Walker.
We will try to have a check off on our Saturday runs so if something were to happen we could account for who was there and how to reach their emergency contact.

This is all new to us-Macae and I are both teachers, and Michelle works at UCM and is married to a Highway Patrol Trooper. So between us we are trying to make sure we have covered our safety needs.

Michelle also brought up a good point-Please RSVP via email for runner safety so we're not pointing out that somebody might be there alone.

Ok-enough of the business stuff! Let's get down to the fun part-Getting to know everyone and working out!
Again, rsvp if you are interested in attending Miles for Matt-we are registering and planning our carpool. Next Wednesday may be the last day! If any of you WOW Gals think of anything else we need to address, just let us know!
Hope to see you on the road!
