Dave, can I please join a Miles and Minutes team

[wfloyd]

If you haven't signed up to be on a Miles and Minutes team and would like to join one, just post here and Panda (Dave/Windwalker) will assign you to one.

I do hear that he takes bribes from team members as well.

I was wondering how the teams work. What does it entail-- it there cometition between team? I'm training for the DL 1/2 and figured anything to keep me motivated would be good. Thanks.

Of course you may join. I just happen to have an opening on the Ohana team. Jeanne is the captain. Just go to their thread and introduce yourself. I know that Robert (UltraMickeyMouse) and his Lady, Linda, on that team are planning on going.

I'll tell them to leave the light on for you.

I'd like to join a team as well. I need some motivation /accountability/ justification for spending too much time on the computer.

So what's involved? Is there an initiation? Interviews? A sorting hat? Will I be hazed? Must I wear a beanie? Provide gu for the whole team? I'M SKAIRT!

I ran a half marathon a few weeks ago and I'm trying to decide my next race. I really want to stay at a level where I can run a half without too much extra training. I figure if I do a long run of 8-10 miles every other week or so, along with another 15-ish miles during the week, that should do it. I can bump up the long run a bit when I have a definite race in mind.

Soooooo, for that - any suggestions? I'm in Kansas City and the next big race is the KC marathon (& half) on Oct 18. I'm signing up for that. I'm also considering the New Mexico 1/2 marathon in Albuquerque in August. I'm from NM and that's my birthday weekend and my parents would love to drive up and watch me run. My husband earns free tickets on SW often enough so that helps. Otherwise, I can find a 5K or 10K most weekends around here. I need some more t-shirts, mine are looking a bit ratty!

Okey dokey - I'm ready for my team!

Kayci, please go to the Ohana team thread and introduce yourself. I think you will enjoy the cool people on that team. Jeanne is the captain, I'll tell them you are coming over. They will leave the light on for you.

Bonjour,
Could I join a team also. I want to do the Disney' Princess Half next march and I will need a lot of motivation to train during the cold and snowy month next winter. Right now, I'm training for a 10k in september in Montréal. I run 4 times a week (about 25 k) and bike once a week.
Thanks
Diane

Hi Diane, I'm going to put you on the Hakuna Matata team. Lots of Canadian WISHers on there if you are from Canada. That is also my team. Just go to their thread and introduce yourself. I'll tell everyone you are coming.

Hi Dave, I am going to take the plunge and request a team placement. I hesitate because the last time I was on one of these teams I ended up being down with an injury for 2 months. Well, that is the past lets look to the future and the possibility of my getting the motivation back. I am entered in my second goofy (first one was '06) and hope to finish the combined 1/2 and full in less than 6 hours. Currently I am in the low to mid 20 miles per week but the plan is to ramp up the miles starting July 1st.

Thanks Mike "GG" B

I'm putting you on Big Vic's team the "Donalds Defient Dashers" or as we affectionately call them the tripple Ds. You will like them and find some athletes to talk shop with.

Just go to their thread and introduce yourself, I'll tell them to keep the light on for you.

I'm a walker and would love to be part of a team to seek encouragement, stay motivated and offer the same to others.

I'm currently training for the Chicago Distance Classic 1/2 marathon and I'm doing Mickey in 2009.

Thanks in advance

 

[pipermae]

I'd like to join a team. I'm not sure what anything entails (I've just been lurking for a couple of days). Just let me know what I need to do, and I'll do it. I'm not currently signed up for any marathons (not yet, at least... because as soon as classes let out, work went crazy and this is about the first time in forever I could sit down and breathe) and I'm not sure if that's a requirement (it seems to be a trend).

Hi DreamBeliever, I'm puitting you on the Ohana team since there are several good walkers on there. Jeanne the captain jus did her first marathon in January, walking. Also one of the best ultra walkers in the naion is on there, although right now he is recovering from knee surgery.

Just go to their thread and introduce yourself. I'll let them know you are stopping by.

I just happen to have a place for you on the Walt's Warriors. They are a fun group although a few of them have a few screws loose, Oh wait that's me!

Just go to their post and introduce yourself. I'll let them know your stopping by.

I'd like to join a team as well! I'm fairly new to running and currently training to run a 10k at the beginning of August and the Half in January. Right now I'm running 3x per week and getting in some cross training on the other days. I've already gotten a lot of motivation on this board and would love to get to know some fellow WISH walkers/runners.

Thanks!
Jessica
