We are trying to put together a small post-col group in Turlock, CA. We are in the works of getting some sponsorship, but it would probably just be shoes/gear/race entries. Turlock is warm, great place to train, close to major meets/races. Depending on your level of interest, we may be able to help you find a part-time job and recommend some really cheap rent (about $300/month or less).
Sorry we can't provide finances at this point, but the training facilities and group would be ideal for the kind of times you run.
Still working on website and stuff, but if you're interested, email me @

I live in Turlock and can attest that the folks coming into this group are solid. 3:48/14:40 guy, 2:09/4:25 lady , sub 1:50 guy, I think there might be a solid female steepler as well, but am not sure. Pretty good mid-d performances. Not sure who else is joining group, but we have a 2:15 marathoner in town as well as a couple more decent, veteran road racers.
It's cheap to live and a short drive to the bay area and there are quite a few road races around to pick up some easy cash (Cali4nia made some good dough road whoring it up last year). You could do alright with a decent part time job and a couple of roommates who are looking for the same thing as you.
Hell, come on over to my house and I'll even burn a steak for you.
