[cohoe]

I am a displaced Herc---would love to be on a team. :blush:

[wtpclc]

Thanks for starting this Susie!

[ryley26]

It looks like Rabbits maybe done Craig said he to busy and no one posted most of Jan. If Elmer Fudd finally gets the rabbits can we be reassigned. Rich

[escape]

To everyone in Herc's Heroes or Jessica's Rabbits - don't worry. We'll get you on a team or you can keep the one you're in or form a new one. The listing at the top is just a draft to see what teams are staying together for now.

If you are not on a team now or would like to move to another team, post in this thread and we'll take care of you. :thumbsup2

[Hockeychic]

Hey gang, is it possible to get on a team? With my training being consistant now I feel I can keep up with my miles this way.

Thanks
Kim

[bubba73]

Looking at the lists, it looks like the Triple D's are a little short-handed. I am sure we all would welcome any of Jessica's Rabbits or Herc's Heroes to our team. We always enjoy growing the family!!

Bryan

[Sandy321]

Obviously I'm ashamed of my past record, I so fell off the wagon -

I think training for a wedding Jan '09 was too good of an "Excuse" in my brain...

Now dh is officially registered for the Goofy, and I"m a Half'er again - we'll be there - but I truly cannot train in the snow, and I cannot think beyond tomorrow (I have a son in treatment at a hospital 45 min from home) Yet, I will be better trained for '10 than I was for '08!!

so look out, give me a month and I'll be needing the nagging effects of team !

[fluffernutter]

I would love to be a second generation cousin on the Ohana team if you will all have me. This will be my first athletic training of any type..and it will be for the half WDW Jan2010,my treadmill comes tomorrow and will be assembled on Friday.woo hoo

so let me know what I need to do to join the team and thanks!!!
:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

[dkostel]

I am going to give up my amateur status and join the draft. I'm a Pisces with Aries rising, love long walks on the beach and run a 6-4 40 (not sure what that last part means it is from one of my favorite movies).

In as much seriousness as I can muster, I ran my first 1/2 marathon this year and was impressed by the number and spirit of the WISHERS I saw and I'd like to join. I'm doing the DL 1/2, want to do the TOT 13K and am filling out the paper work for the full in 2010. I don't really consider myself a runner as much as a Disney runner. Other races don't have that appeal.

Anyway I will try to be a productive and helpful member of any team I end up on.
Thanks-
Donna

[TXAng]

I'd like to join a team! :)

[ImMarcik]

Me too!

[jenthemom22]

I'd like to be on a team this year. I've signed up to do the Disney half and would love the encouragement! Thanks.

Jen

[frankenpooh]

I'm interested in joining up with a team as well!

Debbie

[windwalker]

Susie can you place these princesses on teams please. Kim, Hockeychic has already joined up with the Tripple Ds please add her to their roster.

Happy Panda:goodvibes

[chimera]

We'd be happy to have fluffernutter (and anyone else) join our cousins!!!

Congratulations, fn, for signing up for the half! You can do it. :thumbsup2 My very first event ever was the 2007 WDW Half. And now look at me....I'm going Goofy! (In more ways than one) :scared: :p

I've got you added to Team Ohana. I think it's just one big party over there. :teeth: By the way, I don't believe I know your name. Let me know and I'll add it to the roster.

[escape]

It looks like Rabbits maybe done Craig said he to busy and no one posted most of Jan. If Elmer Fudd finally gets the rabbits can we be reassigned. Rich

I think Elmer might be ready to prounce just anytime. :scared: Do you want me to go ahead and add you to one of the other existing teams?

[mkymsehi]

Who ever wants me, can have me. :rotfl2:

I'm good for low mileage.

OK, I give up. What movie are you referring to? :scratchin

So, you're going for the Coast-to-coast medal? It's one of my favorite medals. :thumbsup2 I'm sure the WISH team will be well represented there. teeth:

Donna, I'm going to add you to Buzz's Brigade. Lots of good folks over there. The queen of marathons, Wendy, resides in that team. She just completed her 30th marathon - the WDW full just a few weeks ago. :worship:

[dsnyfan21]

We'll take Jeff, if we can have him.:rotfl2:
He's a warrior that's for sure, even with low mileage!!

Tracy

[escape]

I am a displaced Herc---would love to be on a team. :blush:

Got you added to the three D's! - Donald's Defiant Dashers. Lots of results oriented folks there that will provide lots of support and enouragement! And, with a team headed by Bubba73 (Bryan), you can't go wrong! :thumbsup2

[TnTsParty]

Because I love Stitch I always have enjoyed seeing Team Ohana's signature. I of course can't abandon my Triple D's and already am signed up for another year with them.

[escape]

Low mileage? Whatcha talking about, Willis? I don't think the words "low mileage" and Jeff go together. When he goes out for a short run, it's usually around 15 miles. :lmao:

[escape]

Because I love Stitch I always have enjoyed seeing Team Ohana's signature. I of course can't abandon my Triple D's and already am signed up for another year with them.

And I'm sure the Triple D's have greatly benefitted with you being a particpant! :thumbsup2

[blizzard]

I'm a former Rabbit, and would be happy to join any team going.

:cool1: :cool1:

[deekaypee]

ETA: Edited my post just as Susie added us to the top. Snap, Susie, you owe me a Coke!

Will Coca-Cola Cherry Zero do? That's all I have in the house. :teeth:

I'll take it!

And I reiterate Mel's post that we welcome all new cousins. I know you'll be balancing out the teams, but thought it was worth mentioning our warm welcomes to everyone! And even if you're placed on another team, come visit Ohana! :goodvibes

[PrincessShea]

If I could please be on someone's team, I would appreciate it. I could sure use the encouragement and I'd love to cheer for everyone else!

[deekaypee]

Because I love Stitch I always have enjoyed seeing Team Ohana's signature. I of course can't abandon my Triple D's and already am signed up for another year with them.

And we feel all warm and fuzzy about you, too. If you're not willing to change teams--and I swear I'm not poaching--we'll get pics taken with you and hopefully Stitch! The extended family-reunion pic! :thumbsup2

Sandi - no need to be ashamed. I've fallen off my team several times and yet they always seem to take me back. :p I think you'll find good support from the Buzz's Brigades. :thumbsup2

[escape]

I'm a former Rabbit, and would be happy to join any team going.

Carol, I think you'll like Donald's Defiant Dashers. Lots of competitive folks who will be a good source of encouragement and support, especially while training for your upcoming marathon! :cheer2:

I really don't know what to say to that.:rotfl:

Bryan

[ryley26]

You can add me to any team. It looks like all the Rabbits are free agents. It looks like Elmer finally got bugs Rich

[momof2minnies]

I would like to be on a team also if possible- did the full last year training for the 1/2 next year.

Linda

Nah! You know how Bugs likes to reinvent himself. He's just the master of disguises. He likes to scatter to other places just to confuse Elmer. :teeth: Right now, he wants you to hide out in the triple D's - Donald's Defiant Dashers.

Linda - I've put you in Buzz's Brigades. You're in good hands with Chris and the gang! Watch out for Pat. She's the half-marathon queen. She's participating in half marathons all across the country winning awards along the way. You just never know where she'll pop up next.

[disneygirlinnj]

Can I please be added to a team? :) I need all the help I can get with trainign for my 1/2!

[Mooshu]

Hi Susie,

Can I join Walt's Warriors? Thanks!

Marcia

[frankenpooh]

I'm already having trouble keeping up with the posts (not a good sign, and exactly why I need to be on a team rather than try to keep up with the weekly thread!). If I've already been assigned and missed it, I apologize. But I would love to be on any of the teams. I probably won't do any other races before the 2010 half, so I won't be adding mega-miles to anyone's spreadsheet. I have lurked around here for a couple of years, though, and it's time to meet some people!

Well, I'll be darned! I thought for sure that I responded to you last night. Hmmm, must be something in my cherry coca-cola zero that's making me forgetful. :rolleyes1

Debbie, welcome to the WISH teams! I've got you added to Buzz's Brigades. You'll find lots of good support in this group of WISHers. No need to have a lot of races lined up. Sometimes it's good to just to chat and/or be a cheerleader. :p

[escape]

Hi Susie,

Can I join Walt's Warriors? Thanks!

Marcia

I've got you added to the team, Marcia! I envision you and Jeff having some friendly competitions every now and then. ;)

[frankenpooh]

Oh, don't worry about it! I appreciate the time and effort you are putting into this -- I will head over there and introduce myself. Thanks!

Hmmm....I don't care much for regular coke zero, but the cherry flavor, I might like. Not if it makes one forgetful, though. I have enough trouble with that as it is :)

[Mooshu]

I've got you added to the team, Marcia! I envision you and Jeff having some friendly competitions every now and then. ;)

Thanks Susie! I'm more of a lazy runner and will only get out on the road if I'm training for something. Hopefully reading everyones posts during the week will keep me motivated to get out there!

[TnTsParty]

And we feel all warm and fuzzy about you, too. If you're not willing to change teams--and I swear I'm not poaching--we'll get pics taken with you and hopefully Stitch! The extended family-reunion pic! :thumbsup2

Aw thanks!! Like I said I can't abandon my Triple D's - I wasn't the best at keeping up with the thread but I still felt a part of the "team" and I am loyal.

After the marathon I got pictures of me wearing my medals with Stitch at 3 different parks. I only saw Stitch at the very end of the marathon and at that point I was too busy trying not to puke :crazy2: on the finish line or on Stitch - so I steered to the left.

[ImMarcik]

Did I make it on a team yet???

Alright, I think I am going a little crazy now. I could have sworn that I added you to a team as well. Now that I recall, I was adding you, Debbie and Jen about the same time. However, my computer got really slow and I think I got up to do something else about the same time and when I got back to the computer I remember having to log back into the DISboards but I failed to check to see if my last submission went through. Sorry about that!

I have you joining Walt's Warriors. Fine group of WISHers! Lots of encouragement and support will come your way. Now, do you go by Marci or is there another name I should list for you? :teeth:

[escape]

I'd like to be on a team this year. I've signed up to do the Disney half and would love the encouragement! Thanks.

I can't keep up with Marcia, she's my running guru.

[syko]

Would any team like a cranker?

[MrsPotts]

If a team has room for one more I would really like to be on one. I'm new at this and could use all the encouragement and support out here in the middle of nowhere!

Thanks so much

Thank you! :)

[Ronda93]

I'd like to get on a team for the WDW 2010 half. I have never run in a competitive event and just started C25K this week. I am planning to run in a local 5k at the end of April.

When I saw DRAFT I was worried I wouldn't get taken until day two. I am hopeful that DRAFT in this sense is just "not final"

Looking at the team and weekly training threads I think it would be a great motivator. I haven't been to WDW since 2005 and this is a wonderful thing to shoot for. I like big goals!

Thanks,
Ronda

[frankenpooh]

Ha -- that's what I initially thought when I saw draft, too. Triggered unpleasant flashbacks to waiting to be picked for kickball!!

[momoftwogirls]

Hi Susie,

I'd also like to be on a team this year. I need lots of support because I signed up for the :goofy: next year.

:thanks:


Kathy

[JPFamilyMom]

I've never done any running before now, but am hoping for the half in 2010. I've been posting on the weekly thread, and I'm slowly building my training, but I'm really just getting started. I would love to be a part of a team if someone will have me :)

[SAHDad]

I need a team too, please.

Well, the beauty of this draft is that everyone gets picked in the first round! :thumbsup2 :cheer2:

Ronda, I have you joining the triple D's - Donald's Defiant Dashers. The team ranges from beginners to experts. I think you'll find lots of support for your upcoming training for the half in 2010. Good luck with your 5K in April! :cheer2:

[bellaDisneydncr]

Hi! I would love to be put on a team if that's alright! I've been on the weekly thread for a little while and am ready to take the next step! :rotfl: I have never run competitively but am looking forward it. I just finished my first week of C25K and am so excited! Thanks!!

If there's room in 'Ohana, DOOD would like to be placed on my team. He's not quite up to posting on the DIS, but he's expressed an interest in the team challenge this year. I'd post his miles for him. (I'm slowly sucking him into WISH. Baby steps, baby steps! :rotfl2: If we've got too many people on 'Ohana, no worries.)

[syko]

syko - All of the teams would LOVE to have you join them but only one lucky team gets to claim you...for now. ;) I think you'll find lots of good support with Chris, Pat and the rest of the Buzz's Brigade team! I can't wait to read about all the events you will be participating in.


Thank you.

[SAHDad]

I put you in with the Super Goofs. Super team with super athletes and super people. You can't go wrong with Lisa as the team captain and Cecilia as the co-captain. Enjoy!

Thanks! I really appreciate the work you have been doing with this.

Katarina, I'm going to put you with Walt's Warriors - a very chatty and fun group that will help you every step of the way. You'll be in good company with this gang.

Thank you so much!! :goodvibes

Thanks so much Susie. I look forward to getting to know the D's and everyone else!

[gsu1988]

I was on Walt's Warriors last year and have been debating if I was going to participate or not this year. Well, if it is not too late O would like to be a Warrior again.

[matty204]

In reviewing the teams and their stories, I think the Buzz Brigade seem to fit my situation the best as their captain story is one I can relate to. Currently, I have not run to the refrigerator, much less anything else. My goal is to run the Tower orTerror 13k this October and to loss weight during the training. I am a little intimidated as I see most everyone here have done some (ok a lot) of races. If this group is not for beginners just let me know.
Thanks

[Millenium Mickey]

Can I join a team? My plan for 2009 is to travel to as many places as time/money will allow and run 1/2 marathons.

thanks...

Hi. Former member of Herc's Heroes here. Need a new home. Just did my first half at WDW last month. Up until then, I'd never done a race longer than a 5K, so still a novice.

Could you please give me a new home? I need lots of encouragement for my next half in Indianapolis on May 2.

Hello! Please forgive me in advance for my lack of knowledge about the WISH boards. I've been a DIS'er for a few years now, but am rather new to the WISH boards. The DH and I are trying to get into running this year, and plan on running a couple of 5K's to start with. I would love to find out what the teams are all about...it sounds fun!

All groups are for beginners. Everyone was a beginner at one time. I consider myself to be an intermediate beginner as I'm still learning on what to do and what not to do. :scratchin

Tracy, I'm not sure. I'm thinking around 25. If they get much bigger, we may need to create another team. However, if we do so, we may need some veterans to move to the new team to help out those new to the smaller teams and WISH in general.

I'll have to talk it over with Dave. Do you have any suggestions? I'm all ears! :earboy2:

Congrats on your first half! You certainly chose the right place for it! It was my first event ever in 2007. I thought if I'm going to have to suffer for 13 miles, then it needs to be in a place I enjoy! And, I only suffered the last 4 miles. :thumbsup2 :teeth:

Indianapolis. Is that the half-marathon that you get to run around the race track? If so, I heard it was a good one!

I put you on the Hakuna Matata team. I know you'll finds lots of support with this gang! Enjoy!

You've come to the right place! The WISH board is an excellent way to meet other runners, walkers, cyclists, etc. Be sure to visit the main weekly thread, Week of Feb 1 - WISH Team Walkers and Runners (http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2076907) for great support and to get to know many of the WISHers. Also, be sure to visit Welcome to the WISH team (http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1831900) for further information on the WISH Team in general.

Because there are so many of us now, some people get kind of "lost" in the main thread and board in general. The smaller teams offer another way to get to know other WISHers and to offer and get encouragement and support while training for a new event or just exercising in general. The team members range from beginners to experts. All are welcome!

One thing that the teams do is keep track of total overall hours and miles of its members each month. If you would like to post how much time you spent exercising/training and how many miles you ran/walked/cycled, etc., your attempts will be added to the team total. However, it is NOT necessary that you do so as some team members are there to act as "cheerleaders" or offer support in other ways.

Does this sound like something you and your DH would like to participate in? If so, let me know and I'll be happy to add you to a team. :thumbsup2

I'd really like to join a team this year! I was a bit intimidated by all you WISH folks last year when I was training for the half marathon, but I met a few of you nice people while waiting around at the start of the race, and have decided to sign up!

I finished the half marathon last month in 2:29 and had a great time doing it.... except for that silly banked overpass around mile 11! :sad2: It was my first real race, and how I'm addicted! My goal for the half was 2:30, and I managed to beat that by 27 seconds! pixiedust: Once we'd regained the ability to walk around the Magic Kingdom without hobbling (by about 8:00 that evening), we made the decision to do the full marathon in 2010! I'm really excited about this challenge; it felt so great to do the half, but we had a bit of Mickey Medal Envy the next day. I really want to finish in 5 hours, but we'll see how that goal changes as my distances increase while training. I'm also planning on running the Rock and Roll Seattle half marathon in late June, which I hope to do in less than 2:15.

So, I'd love to join a team if y'all wouldn't mind having me! I'm really looking forward to having people to rant and rave about training with, so that my friends and co-workers aren't totally tired of me again by Christmas!

I'm going to be in your neck of the woods in a couple of weeks. I'm going to sign up for the Gasparillo half. I wanted to do the 15K but in order to get the good airfare, I had to arrive on Saturday. Now, how's that for determining which race to do. Ha! :rolleyes:

I also see you are going to do a marathon in ROME! I LOVE Rome. I'm sure you'll have a blast. One of my goals is to do a half (or maybe a full) overseas. The only things preventing me from doing one now are $$$, time and finding one during school vacations. :teeth:

[novafan]

I'd like to join a team. Am I too late? What information do I need to provide and can someone direct me to a thread that explains how the teams work?

ETA: I just read through this thread and figured I should add some information about myself to help you place me on a team.

I just did my first WDW race in January (the half). I had a great time, but did it alone and would have loved to have been part of a WISH team. The WDW half was my 4th long distance race. I've also done:
San Francisco Half in July 2007
Army 10-miler in October 2008
Big Sur Half Marathon in November 2008

This is how I describe my running/exercising self. I'm not (YET!!!) a dedicated runner, but I LOVE doing races. I know that makes absolutely no sense but I run because I like the events, not the other way around. I'm working on that though and I'm hoping that this is the year that I actually become a RUNNER. I use the Jeff Galloway method and walk-run my races. I ran 3 minutes/walked 1 minute to get through the WDW half and it worked out well for me. I go to the gym 3 times a week and do BodyPump (group weightlifting class) twice a week and I spin once a week. I'm trying to increase my gym workouts this year too.

We are a military family and we are moving overseas this summer, to Austria. I'm not committed to any races right now, because our moving schedule will be hectic, but I would like to squeeze something in before we move. If I can make arrangements, I may run the Nutmeg State Half Marathon (CT) in April, but I haven't committed yet. My current long term goal is to run the Vienna FULL marathon in April 2010. I hope I can make that happen and that's the big goal I want to work on this year!

I'm not sure if I should request a team or not, but if so, can I be on the Ohana team?

I had to look up the Rain Man tri and it looks like a lot of fun! I'm very intrigued about the indoor bike concept.

We're only signed up for the Rock and Roll half marathon in June, so far. We do have to sign up for at least one more (not that that will be hard) event this year, however, since we have a comped entry from Pro Motion Events from the shambles that was the cancellation of the 12K's of Christmas in Kirkland in December. But that's it so far. Need to work on that.

I'll pop in on the thread and say, "hi"! I'm planning to stay local and run the Go! St. Louis 1/2, but someday I'd love to do the CMM one. It looks like so much fun.:)

[Geekerbell]

Hi Laura! Welcome to the WISH Teams! I put you with our newest team, the Rebel Alliance! Although the team is small for now, it will quickly grow as more people join the fun. I'm sure you'll find good support as you transition from being a walker to a runner. Have fun!

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to it!
I'll go check out the team thread now. :)

[MomofCKJ]

I am a former member of the now defunct Herc's Heroes. Can I be placed on a new team? I need some motivation and accountability!

Allyson :)

Hi Allyson! I hear the Rebel Alliance team calling your name. I'm sure they will be glad to provide motivation make sure you're getting the steps in. :teeth:

[mickeyncldkd]

I would love to join any team.

Hey everyone. I haven't posted on here in like 6 months but I would like to get back into it. I did this competition last year but dropped out because I started working a swing shift over the summer and really didn't feel like excercising on the weird sleep schedule. Anyway, if theres room on a team I'd like to join. I plan on starting a program on monday. I am running the half marathon in 2010 so I need all the motivation I can get. Thanks

[disney_mommy]

I, too, am new to this running thing. I have signed up for the half in January and I need to be party of a team to support me and to provide support to!

[MindyLuvsMickey]

HiYa! I'm looking for a team. Could you help a newbie out?

Thanks a ton!

[Running Diva]

Hi all, I just joined the WISH boards in the month leading up to the Princess half, and boy was it nice to feel like a part of something! I went to the Meet & Greet and even saw some people at the Expo and during the race... Now I'd like to get more involved so that I have a "team" at the DL 1/2...

Looking forward to getting to know you,
Tammy

[surfermickey]

Can I be part of a team too? I met alot of you at the princess with Tracey, Stacey, Liz and Kim. I have been running for about a year and done everything from 5K's to half marathons. I would like to get faster and go Goofy next year. I am all about running at Disney, no better place to sweat.

Thanks,
Brandie

[lil mermaid]

I'd like to be put on a team please! Thanks!

Laurel

[plutosmyfav]

I would like to join a team. I'm a little scared because I haven't fully gotten my running legs back under me... But all the more reason... I need the support!

Thanks!

[deekaypee]

Welcome Mindy, Brandie, Tammy and Laurel. I'm sure Susie will get right with you! We're very happy to have you here. :cool1: Just start logging your miles and minutes now, and you'll be introduced to your WISH team soon.

Thanks!

Yeah! A special welcome is deserved here! Sunny's going to join a team! :cheer2: Any team will be lucky to have you. Heck, we'll probably all be competing for the honor! :woohoo:

For those of you who don't know Sunny, she's one of our WISHers extraordinnaire. I'll let her--and others--who know the background better tell of the full story of her strength getting to the course, on the course, and getting back on the course. But something we can all relate to...the WISH logo, its design, motto? All Sunny. It's her spirit shining through. :cloud9:

[december14disney]

Hi All, I'm Katie! I'd love to join a team. I signed up for the WDW Half 2010! :thumbsup2

[disney_mommy]

Hi All, I'm Katie! I'd love to join a team. I signed up for the WDW Half 2010! :thumbsup2

I, too, have signed up for the half in January! Good luck to you! :cool1:

[plutosmyfav]

All Sunny. It's her spirit shining through. :cloud9:

Oh Debra! You made me cry!:hug: Thank you so much. Honestly, I don't deserve such wonderful words--- but I'll take 'em!:cool1:

[TMGirl]

Help! I've been searching around the threads to figure out what the teams are actually for and haven't had any luck. Can someone give a newbie a hand please? :) Thanks!

[dsnyfan21]

BUmping this so maybe Susie or Dave will see it and help the people that are waiting to be put on teams. :flower3:

Tracy

[surfermickey]

Thanks Tracey, I was beginning to think it was too late to join a team. Hopefully I will have a home soon.

[lil mermaid]

I'd like to be on a team too, please! Thanks.

[Running Diva]

Welcome Mindy, Brandie, Tammy and Laurel. I'm sure Susie will get right with you! We're very happy to have you here. :cool1: Just start logging your miles and minutes now, and you'll be introduced to your WISH team soon.




Thanks Debra, that's the 2nd time you've come to my rescue! The first was before the Princess 1/2... You ARE a caretaker, aren't you? I'm so glad!:hippie:

Q: Where do I log my miles and minutes? I've been tracking them with my Garmin but is there a thread here for that? Thanks again!
Tammy

[dsnyfan21]

If you are waiting to be placed on a team, just keep track yourself of your miles and times that you are doing your activities for now. We started with them back in February, so if you have them from there then great!!! Once Susie and/or Dave get with you then you can find out from your team as to how each team is keeping track.

Thanks everyone for you patience - you'll get a team soon!!

Tracy

[windwalker]

Thank you Tracy, only Susie can place people on the actual rosters and she will be along shortly.

Happy Panda

[windwalker]

Susie should be along shortly to update the rosters.

Dave

[deekaypee]

Until Susie can update the master roster, here's a list of the updated Team Rebel Alliance, where most of the new requests from the past couple of weeks have been placed!

Team: Rebel Alliance


Scoolover - Scott (Captain)
Suzann - Suzann (Co-captain)
WDWFLgal - Angela
Geekerbell - Laura
JustSmile - Tracey
Hockeychic - Kim
MomofCKJ - Allyson
mickeyncldkd

UTGuitarist27 - Steve
disney_mommy - Andrea
Running Diva - Tammy
surfermickey - Brandie
lil mermaid - Laurel
december14disney - Katie
TMGirl - Tracy
Kirsty-Leigh - Kirsty


The requests are now up to date, although I'm waiting to hear back from Sunny.

And a big, big congratulations to Mindy, who had to pull out of team participation because she's pregnant! Congratulations, Mindy, and we look forward to meeting our newest WISHer in the future! :love:

[deekaypee]

As we head into April, here's a couple of updates until Susie comes back:

1) Any WISHers wanting to join the team challenge? Please feel free to post here. It's not too late to get the extra support, accountability, and fun of the team challenge. Plus, there's the cool siggie bling.

2) Team captains and co-captains: Take a look at the rosters on the Susie's first post, and let me know if they're accurate. Team Rebel Alliance is nearing balance with the other teams, which means we'll be distributing new members among the teams once they're filled. So we'll need to know how many people are actively participating on a team. (Note: if you've got a person on injured reserve, vacation, etc. they're still a member of your team. But if someone has dropped out, let me know so the team's can be balanced.)

[dsnyfan21]

Starting in April Walt's Warriors Team List:

1. Tracy (dsnyfan21) - Captain
2. Carrie (WTPCLC) - Co Captain
3. Amy (AmyKab)
4. Lily (TigerLily)
5. Jeff (mkymsehi)
6. Marcia (mooshu)
7. Erika (3disneykids)
8. Kate (SmileyK8)

15. Stacey (tink06)
16. Jeff (GrumpyinNy)
17. Katarina (BellaDisneydncr)
18. Ken (gsu1988)

That is up to date at this time.

Have a good one Debra and Susie!!

We're also looking for updated rosters from the DDDs and the Buzzies. If your roster matches the first page, just let me know.

[bubba73]

Debra For now, our team will be as in the original post. We do have a few that we are checking on and as soon as we find out for sure, we will come back and let you know. Been very hectic recently all around and I have been lagging just a bit. Sorry.

Bryan

[deekaypee]

Bumping because I see we have new WISHers interested! :cheer2:

Betsy, could you give me the DDDs updated roster? :goodvibes

All other teams, I'd appreciate updated rosters from you too!

[ironz]

Thanks, Debra...
The bold-faced team members are the ones who still post regularly (or at least occasionally). If the others come back, they still have a place on the spreadsheet! I've been missing them! :goodvibes

I've been posting on the weekly thread, but I think I need a team if someone will have me.

I'm a in-line skating, hockey playing, triathlete working mom who is signed up for a few sprint tris this summer, my longest triathlon ever (1.5K/40K/10K) in September & WDW 1/2 in 2010 - my first running-only race!

That all makes me sound more athletic than I really am. I don't exacly "race", I "attempt to compete."

[deekaypee]

Hey, Sk8tingmom! I remember you and what great progress you've been making! Long time, no see--I haven't been on the weekly thread as much as I should be. Continue to post on the weekly thread, and I'll try to get there more often to say hi! :flower3:

You're doing some tris, so I'm going to place you with the Super Goofs! I think you'll find the support and encouragement from any of the threads, but there are a couple of triathletes there.

Just head on over and introduce yourself. I'll let you them know you're coming! :goodvibes

[sk8ingmom]

Thank You!:flower3:

[jesters]

Hi! I've been lurking on the WISH threads for a while, and I am interested in joining one of the teams.

I am new to all of this. I bought a treadmill about 2 weeks ago, and am running/walking 4 times per week. Right now I am only up to a little over 2 miles at a 15 minute per mile pace, but improving with each session. I know I have a long way to go, but I am excited and motivated. I also would like to lose about 20lbs, but that is secondary, and I think it will come in time with my new training.

I am working up to the Couch to 5k plan. I also just bought Marathoning for Mortals.

I have signed up for the Disney 1/2 Marathon in January, and plan on running a few local 5k races.

I don't want to hold back any of the teams with my short mileage. But in time, I know I'll be able to add to the totals!

Congratulations on de-lurking and joining WISH! :welcome:I'm sure you'll love it here. And the January Marathon weekend is a blast!

And what an exciting time for you: new treadmill, seeing steady improviment, new plans (I did C25K & love Marathoning for Mortals), and signing up for races. I look forward to hearing about all of this on the weekly thread in addition to your team thread.

Speaking of teams, they're all about motivation and encouragement, so don't worry about any team "back." You'd be a valuable asset to any team--I can tell just from your excitement--but I'm putting you with Hakuna Matata. Lots of experienced folks there to help you with any training or race-day strategies. I'll let them explain the team challenge, if you have any questions. Just go on over and introduce yourself! :goodvibes

[FLORIDA_GIRL]

Hello! I was a member of SuperGoofs for a while last year before life got in the way and I went on an 8-month hiatus. I recently started running again and I'd love to rejoin my old team for the 2009 challenge...if they'll have me. The Air Force moved my family to Oklahoma City last summer, so because of the distance/expense there are no Disney races scheduled in my near future, although we are planning a vacation to the World in December of this year :banana: I will be running (jogging :)) the Rock n Roll San Antonio Half Marathon in November and have found that having a challenge team to hold you accountable makes it a little easier to stay on track with training.

Welcome back to the WISH teams, Shannon! Go on over to the Goofs. I'm sure they'll love to have you back! Congrats on signing up for RnR San Antonio 1/2--it's supposed to be a good one! I hear Oklahoma City has a good race, too, so maybe relocation was just the thing to get you to try new events. :thumbsup2

I would love to join one of your teams. We just started walking/jogging about 2 weeks ago and did our first 5k yesterday! I think I now have the running bug. Planning on the Tot 13K in October. Would love to do the 1/2 in January but it is full:sad1:.

Thanks, Jennifer

Jennifer,

Welcome to the teams! You just started and have already completed a 5K. Wonderful! :cheer2:

Any team would love to have you, but I think you'll enjoy being with Walt's Warriors if you're planning on doing the TOT 13K because I think Tracy, the co-captain, is doing the race. (I did it last year, and it was fabulous.) Just go over to the warriors and introduce yourself!

Also, there might be a way to get into the half, if you book a race package that includes your hotel. I'm not as savvy with those details, so be sure to ask about the possibility on your team thread and on the weekly thread. (On the weekly thread, I think Frank/Fire Dancer will be able to answer your question.)

[Running Mouse]

Hi my name is Dave & I'm from Plymouth MA. I have run all 4 Goofy's and I'm coming back for the 5th !! I am having a harder time this year keeping my running going so a friend suggested I join a group. Nothing around here, but I thought about Wish. I knew about wish from my 7 Disney marathon's and have chatted to many members during the races. I found your thead. I was wondering if you could use another member. It would help me make it back on track!! I bring some "Disney" knowledge" to the table since I have been a DVC member since 1997. Please let me know what team I would be on and how I would log info. Thanks Dave

Ooooh, Disney knowledge. You just said the magic words, Dave! ;) We'd love to have you on a team. Any team would be lucky to have you, but I'm going to place you with the DDDs. I think they've got a good mix of folks to help keep you motivated, while your experience (running and with DVC) will be a welcomed addition. Just go on over to their May team thread and introduce yourself! :goodvibes

Hi!
I would love to join a team. I just ran my first 5k this weekend (Komen for the Cure Global Race in DC) and my SIL has talked me into running the Princess 1/2 marathon next year. This is my "recovery week", so I am spending lots of time browsing these forums, lol.

I am currently using the Galloway method, doing the conditioning level first, then moving on to the 1/2 marathon training program. So, I'm not running a lot of miles to start with, but I'll get there!

Thanks!
Ashley

:welcome:

Ashley, congratulations on your first 5K. I love RftC. Such a positive vibe. And the Princess 1/2 will be lots of fun (tentatively planning on doing it.)

I'm sending you to the Rebel Alliance. You'll find a lot of helpful people there! Just head on over to the thread and say hi!

Hi there, it looks like I'm going to stick with this running thing. I just did my first 5K, the Race for the Cure, in DC last weekend too. Didn't break any speed records but I ran the whole way! Now I need some help figuring out where to go from here. I would love to join a team.

I definitely didn't break any records, either, lol. There were so many walkers that started early, that it really made running hard. I ended up walking near the monument turn because I couldn't get around the walkers and I was getting so frustrated. I hope they have better communication next year about when the runners should start vs the walkers.

I told my husband I probably ran a 10K with all the zig zagging and in and out around the walkers. They weren't speed walkers either. Just out for a stroll, 4 wide holding hands. It was very frustrating. We figured since they were a half hour late with the start that the walkers just went ahead and started. You would think they could keep to one side. I would start to get into a good pace and then run up on a huge group. Very frustrating. My friend, who has done it several times, said she had never seen it that bad. She did say it definitely wasn't a race that you would do to get a good time though. Just too many people.

Great job on your first 5K. I love the RftC! :woohoo:

I'm going to place you on team Rebel Alliance! Lots of friendly folk there, and I've just added a couple of new people, so you'll be joining together. :goodvibes

Just go on over & say hi!

Oh, and welcome to the WISH challenge! :welcome:

I ended up in the way back of the runner start, and there were walkers over there! They didn't want to walk "all of the way" over to the walker start.

Yeah, I think next year they need to divide the streets so walkers are on one side and runners on the other OR put up a barrier so the walkers can't start until their correct time. In a sea of 45,000 people, it's going to be hard no matter what, but I think they could have done a better job, especially when there were only like 10,000 runners. It didn't take me that long to get to the start line from the back.

I've started a new Team Roster 2009 thread, so that we can have the rosters on the first page. Please go there to join up. (Just easier for me to check one thread and update one thread, rather than toggle between the two. :goodvibes)

The new thread is located HERE. (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2198827)

Hi there,

I'm hoping to join a WiSH team. I have run the WDW marathon before, and the 2010 Goofy be at least my 5th marathon. I know of a few people from the Disney Running site, like Jeff "mkymsehi" and would like to be on a team with them, but it's cool with however I end up.

My wife "jkmmah" has been a long time DIS board member, and she ran the WDW Half Mary last year. She may do the full this year!

Thanks,

James

Welcome, welcome!!! We're glad to have you here! :welcome:

Sorry to have missed you--this is the old(er) thread for the recruitment and I missed the request.

So just head on over to Team Rebel Alliance's thread, located here (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2216307) (I don't think they started an August thread, and introduce yourself! Anything you want to let them know--your name, background, upcoming events, questions.... They'll clue you in on the "rules" of our friendly challenge. (If you don't mind giving me your name, I'll also add you to the Team roster, here (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2198827)).
