Can I join?

I'm walking with my friend on a 5K early next month. Do you think it will be fine, its just a walk??

I've been walking on breaks during my evening class. We go pretty far in short time. I have the podcast downloaded and I think I will start walking at the track after work. I start a new job on Monday and I'll be off at 1:30 and can try to get in a walk before I pick dd up from preschool. Eventually I want to start walk/jogging so I can build up to running.

You go girl! The first step is just to get moving. I started in April of 2006 walking, ran my first 5K that October (slowly but surely) and I have never looked back since. Today is my October 5K "must do"-The race is named after my DHs grandmother and then I made the commitment to ToT 6.5K!! Once you start, you just can't stop. I too get done work early in the afternoon and use that time to train. Next year...half marathon bound.

Good luck with your training and as I am new to WISH too, you will find all the support you need right here! These people are genuine and really truly awesome. Keep up the good work!

Woohoo! Melissa's here! OF COURSE, you are a member of the WISH team!! Better watch it or you'll soon be wanting one of our very fashionable, very LOUD, lime green WISH team shirts.
Your plan sounds great! I am so glad you are finding a bit of time for yourself, Melissa, I know how hard that is with parenting, work & school!

Congrats on the new job! I hope you LOVE it! And the new picture of Zoe is just gorgeous!!!!!

Someday I'll do a Disney Marathon.


I'm hoping to be out there in early Jan if I can work up a quick savings for it and can get time off work in such a short time of being there. If not I'll wait till after I graduate in April. My brother wants a vacation so I'll try to plan it with his and we can see our dad. Zoe has grown so much since the last time he has seen her. I really hope or want to move back that way again eventually, then I can do a lot of the marathons.

I absolutely believe you will! If there is any way you can get down there for marathon weekend in January, there will be SO MANY WISHers there and it will be so much fun! I'd love for us to finally meet in person!

Have a great day!

Getting there and staying somewhere isn't problem at all. It rests in time off work and enough $ for stuff I wanna do. My brother gets free flights from his buddies and well my dad lives in Lakeland area about 45-60 minutes away.

Plus it depends on the day it is I'll have to go look. I have 2 weeks of break from school for Christmas and New Years. I'd be sooooo tempted to take a long weekend and only miss another day of school(I am planning to miss Halloween, Zoe is too into Halloween this year to miss out) for a Thursday. Then I'm only missing 2 days work and one of school so it will be easier to afford to go. From my new hire paperwork it sounds like I MIGHT be able to take a paid vacation before I actually have those hours you just lose the money from final check if you quit before you earn them. I SOOOO need a vacation I haven't had a vacation really in a couple years.
