Seminole Heights Running Group

Angie Arnst who works at the YMCA (and lives in Old Seminole Heights) and is specifically assigned to improving the health of Seminole Heights’ residents through exercise. The YMCA can facilitate getting the running/walking group up and running. You can email her.


I received two emails back to back on the same subject:

1. Glenn C. sent this out on the SE Sem Hts email group.
"A few people have talked about organizing a running group. Are any others interested in meeting? A projected schedule will be Saturday mornings at 9:00 and Wednesday evenings at 6:00. We could meet at the church parking lot on Hillsborough, jog NSH, SSH, and SESH and then hit Starbucks for something non-fat or Nicko's for something a bit less trendy but more substantial.

All levels of fitness could join and we will choose different turnaround points so that the fast and the slow will finish somewhat close together. Let's try a first workout Saturday July 8. I will spread the word a bit more at the Porch Party. People could get up and sweat away their porching."

2. Tara emailed on the same subject, after being directed here by Gary Ellsworth:

"My name is Tara and I have been loving and living in
S. Heights for 1.5 years now.

Long story short, I use to run a lot and haven't ran
that much in the past couple of years (had a kid)!
But, I would like to see if there are others in our
area that would like to get together and get something
started, whether it be walking, beginning - seasoned
runners.

There is safety in numbers and there is more
motivation when you have others depending on you to
get off your butt and go! LOL."

3. Perhaps Running Through Tampa can provide some tips
