Welcome to the Wish Team
Welcome
Welcome, you have found the WISH Racing Team. I'd be more than happy to get you started with our WISH Team! You become a WISH Team member by posting on the weekly thread. That's it! The main team thread is actually the weekly walker/runner thread (Wk of Month/Day – WISH Walking/Running Club). This weekly thread is where we share training and other information. Stop by there and introduce yourself. We are a friendly group with a variety of backgrounds and abilities. Feel free to ask any question and there will be a variety of people willing to help you out. Motto: DLF>DNF>>DNS (Dead Last Finish is better than Did Not Finish which greatly trumps Did Not Start), WISH gave me the courage to start. WISH Racing Team Roster: Brief bio’s of team members History of the WISH Team: How we started Training Threads Music to Train By: Songs and playlists that team members use during training. Walking/Running Info Websites: Various links that the WISH team has found useful. Becoming Lean, Mean Endurance Event Machines: WISHers looking to eat healthy and possibly drop a few pounds. Stronger More Defined Core: What’s a core? Stop by to have it explained and find WISHers ready to help you. The Triathlon Thread: Gain information from our resident Triathletes and share experiences. New Walkers Sharing Ideas: Yes, you can WALK a marathon/half marathon! These WISHers will show you how! Nutrition: What do I eat during the training months and what about carb loading for the event? WISH Teams WISH Teams have been established for any WISH'er who is interested in interacting with a smaller group of people within the WISH environment. Teams have been helpful to some WISH'ers in providing additional resources, support, and camaraderie beyond the main board; and can be a good way for new WISH'ers to become an intergral part of the WISH family without feeling lost in the "big WISH" Events/Competition forum. WISH teams are not mandatory, are non-exclusive and are always welcoming to new members and to "visits" by any and all WISH'ers If you would like to join a team, then go to the following thread and post your request. Maura (jmasgat) will be more than happy to help you out. 2010 WISH Team Rosters and New Member Request Events: Look below for information on races that the WISH team will have participants in.

 woodys! I would suggest that you start off posting in the main thread, which is the weekly thread. Just introduce yourself, and let us know what you are doing. We have all shapes, sizes, and speeds! The teams that you see listed are in the process of starting over this month, which will probably happen after the Walt Disney World marathon weekend..THIS WEEKEND!!  There will be a post announcing the teams start up and how to join in. Until then, join us on the weekly thread!  Anne

WISH Team Artwork
I've received many requests for the WISH shirt artwork. I would like to make the artwork available for anyone who WISHes to use it!
However, in order to keep the use in line with the WISH Team spirit, there are a couple of rules. RULES FOR USE OF WISH TEAM ARTWORK. 1) The artwork is copyright protected and as such contains all the protection provided under the US Copyright Law. 2) The artwork can be used for individual use only. This means, you can put the artwork on items for yourself and family and friends, but not on anything that can or will be merchandised in any fashion. 3) The artwork may not be altered in anyway. 4) Any printing that will be more than just your local group (i.e., a whole WISH Team item) must receive written permission from me in advance. 5) All printing from this point on must contain the copyright line. If I should be absent for a while and you need to contact me, please send Lily, Carrie, Cam, or Mel after me! The high-resolution artwork can be found at: WISH Team Shirt Front: http://livinglively.com/images/WISH_shirtFront.jpg WISH Team Shirt Back: http://livinglively.com/images/WISH_Logo_back.jpg Thanks everyone and happy WISHing! Sunny

If I wear a Cumulus on one foot and a Nimbus on the other, will there be thunderstorms during my run?

Miles/Minutes Game
Can someone point me to a place that says how the miles/minutes game works, or explain it to me?
Thanks so much!

I haven't been here since January because of health issues. I seem to have things under control and hope to do the 2010 WDW half. I humbly ask if I can rejoin the wonderful WISH team. I loved meeting a great group of racers last year and hope to see you all again. I especially remember the warm welcome extended to me by Maherae and the awesome support given by Thunder Matt.
