I am new

[Amykr]

Your website is a little overwhelming. I found out about you all at the Minnie 5k race when I was walking alone and a small group of you chatted with me. I am now hooked and am looking to not do this alone anymore. They said you all are the group to talk to I am hoping to do th erace to the taste and the princess 5k and maybe if my body can handle it a bit more.

Anyone who can stear me in the right direction on the board or in training I am all ears ( so to speak )

Amkkr, I just wanted to welcome you. I'm not new to the DIS but am new to the WISH board, just joining in this week on my weight lost journey. I've joined the WW thread and joined in to say hello on one or two others. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to point you in the right direction of the race threads, I know there are some here but I'll be honest haven't particiapted in them "yet." I will tell you this board on the DIS has been very inspirational and motovating. Everyone is very welcoming.

Our WISH runners are a wonderful group and would love to have you join the fun. They have their own sub forum actually. At the top of this WISH page it lists WISH sub forums. Runners hang out on the Events/Competition board. Here is a link.

Windtalker, a racer, has posted a thread on the regular WISH forum here inviting participants to join a training team. The teams have their own threads on the Events/Competition board to socialize and encourage each other. They keep track of their miles and try to outdo the other teams (I think). Here is a link to that thread. To join up Windtalker requests a PM. As a new member you may not be able to PM yet, so get chatting on some threads to run up your post total. I think you need 12 or 13 posts to be able to PM.

Good luck with your training and happy running.

to WISH! I am not in any of the running groups, but an active poster on the Weight Watchers thread. I have been on this journey for several years and always am happy to see new people join the forums. It can be very overwhelming to start, just do some reading and feel free to jump in when something interests you. This is a great group of "losers" at various stages in their journey and there is always someone here willing to help offer support or advice.

i see you've gotten the jist of the WISH board, it is a friendly, motivation group! Feel free to "lurk" as we call it, meaning read and browse threads without posting to get a general feel. There is also a link in my signature you may find helpful in explaining/answering some of your questions.

again Welcome!
