How do I become a W.I.S.H. team member?

[Superdebbie]

I've already registered for the Minnie Marathon Weekend 15K, but how do I become a W.I.S.H. team member?? Are you all runners, or are some of you walkers like me? And, if I can become a member now, where can I buy a W.I.S.H. team race shirt and hat?? Thanks everyone! - Debbie

Debbie -

You are now a member! Congrats!

Some of us are runners, some are walkers, others are runners/walkers.

Come on in, take your shoes off, and sit a spell.



P.S. - Keep an eye out for the Panda.

Welcome!

Woohoo, another walker!

There is a thread called "New Walkers Sharing Ideas." It's not for new walkers; it's a new thread (but they welcome new walkers, too!).

Stop by there and introduce yourself. Then stop by the Minnie Marathon Team List and post there--Maharae is keeping a list of all of us who will be there that weekend. There's a Minnie Marathon Meet thread where a meet for all of us is being coordinated--they take a "team" photo there to archive here (there is a thread stickied at the top, I think, that shows how the team has grown).

And definitely WATCH OUT for the PANDA!

Honest, Panda, I'm getting off the sofa RIGHT NOW!

Welcome again!

Welcome to WISH Team side of WISH!

There are smaller threads here that you can enjoy as you get to know the team in smaller doses.

The WISH Team list is taken from the weekly walking/running thread. That is actually the main team posting area. Post there occasionally and get to know your WISH Team. We share our training ups and downs and all ability levels are welcome. This will definitely make your event experience more enjoyable.

There are a lot of walkers! I am one. Although, I have learned racewalking, I'm still not speedy!

Welcome again!

Now Now, the Panda is kind and gentle and one of the few "Normal" creatures on the WISH team. Don't believe anything he says, I mean anything said about him, or something like that.

Any way WELCOME to the WISH and if you would like to be on a training team we have some openings.

Lots of us are walkers on here, like Duckie said come join in our discussions.

Innocent as the new snow Panda

Welcome to You Walker. I'm a walker!!

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! I'll head over to the New Walkers thread (and the Minnie Marathon Meet thread). I am so glad that there will be other walkers at the Minnie Marathon. I just hope I don't get "swept" before I can finish! I've been walking for quite some time now and one of the things I do is walk the Edison Bridge in Fort Myers, FL (I do that walk at least 2x a week). I work close to the bridge, so I first drive to work (did it today and yesterday) and eat breakfast and drink some water. Then after a bathroom break, I head off to the bridge. It takes me 10 minutes to get to the bridge. I walk all the way over (that first incline is a killer) and back to my office. It takes me about 54-55 minutes. I figure that it's a good workout because of the inclines (although the downhill is my favorite). Thanks again and hope to see many of you in May! -Debbie

Welcome Debbie, glad to see you here. I'm a walker too, but unfortunately I won't be at the Minnie this year, maybe next year. Are you walking the Dallas half w/Prevention? I think I may sign up for that. Have fun @Minnie and you're going to love the W.I.S.H. team, they're a great group.

 

[Superdebbie]

Monte - I would love to do the Dallas 1/2 marathon with Team Prevention, but not sure if my finances will let me. My tax stimulus check will just help me catch up on some bills. I'm not ruling it out yet!!

 

[monte]

If you do maybe we could share a room? I'm with you in the finance department, but maybe I can swing it??

Welcome Debbie! As far as shirts go, you just missed a couple orders. However, tehre is an Eye2Eye thread that is just about to get details on how to order those shirts. You may want to watch that. Good to have you hear and I look forward to seeing you at Minnie!
