The WMHS initiative for our employees and their families,
Running for the Health of It (Couch to 5K), culminated with the Great Allegany
Run last Saturday. We had 50 members on the WMHS team including 37
who had completed the class. The class began in late July and was
very well received. During this week, I heard story after story from
our employees who never imagined that they would ever participate in a 5K. We
had five members of our administrative team participate and ten members of our
team won first, second or third place in their age bracket. To a
person who participated in the Great Allegany Run from WMHS, they have now
adopted a running lifestyle and will continue to train for two upcoming 5K
races in our area. Some have discussed forming a WMHS Running
Club. Some are even gearing up to run in future 15K
races. We ended up with a waiting list of over thirty from our first
class so we will be offering another class in the Spring of 2014. I
am thrilled that our employees participated in the class and the subsequent
race as well as had a great time doing it. Some of the photos
from the race are attached. Way to go!
