Team Miles Game Sign-ups

[scuba diver]

Sign me up.

I'm in the 30 miles a week.

I would start with 10 today if I could get my son out of bed. We are traveling this weekend so it's a good opportunity to run some place new. I just hope it is in the snow and not the rain they are predicting.

MS MightyDuck!!

I know the feeling - I'm real good at starting - I've started the gym at least 4 times (Ballys Fitness and Discovery.com have a free 8 week program!!) I dont know if this time is different - but this time - I'm throwing a rope out and tying a knot - and I'm going to hang on!! I'm making goals, and I"m going to be accountable - its time for this old woman to get fit and to be accountable to ME!! and in the process I want to have fun!

and do NOT think you are doing this alone - I'm all dressed and ready to hit the gym as well (no treadmill here- - altho I do have a Walk Away the Pounds 3 mile exercise video on days I cant get to the gym!) Its -20 Below Windchill - but I'm going -

So as you hit the gym, know your team mates are there with you!! YOU are NOT alone!!

Youze guyz are funny (I'm from Philly).

Count me in! I'll be low mileage to start, but slow and steady wins the race and all that. You can count my husband in as well, he'll be doing the half with me next year.

Can younz sign me up too? (I'm from Pittsburgh! ) I'm training for another half in early May so milage will be like trainage miles plus some trail biking to keep DH happy! Thanks!!

Thanks so much, Sandy! I was so disappointed last weekend when I got all dressed and drove to the gym to discover how much cash they wanted up front. I don't like the gym that i'm joining, but it's a means to an end for me. My asthma dr does not want me exercising in the cold (or outside when it's warm and the ozone count is high--or the air quality is poor, which is most days!).

I'm hoping when it gets a bit warmer to take the dog out on some trails--she's a springer and loves to get out to the parks!

Have a great time at the gym, Sandy!

We currently have 29 WISH Warriors signed up. I would like to start the game on Feb 1st so we have about another week to take sign-ups. Right now, if no one else wants in we would have 3 teams with one team short till someone else signed on.

I need a captain for each team: Who wants to volunteer to be the captain and start the thier teams thread? Each team will decide on a team name also.

You can put me down for a captain, sir.

You can put me down for a captain, sir.

Thank you, I will have a roster of your troops ready soon commander.

I am hoping the leadership of the opposing forces will step forward soon as well.

A yankee talkin south'rn.

Just ain't right.

J'eet yet?

 

[Worfiedoodles]

DH will also be training, so he can be on a team with me (or opposing, wouldn't that be interesting...) -- he doesn't post, but that's one more person with mileage!

I don't believe I am captain material at this point, but I promise to be a positive follower!

Let's Go, Wishers!

But Big Vic, I'm as honest as the day is long. I'm also smart enough to piss out of my own boots.

And for our Canadian WISHers, that's aboot all I've got for now, ay.

 

[smileyk8]

aww i wish i could join in your random phrases- being from england it's just not going to happen! I would love to be an honorary american tho

Join me up too, currently doing about 10 miles a week but hoping to increase as we head towards minnie... and beyond lol

Sandy-

I was thinking of you while I registered at the gym and walked my first 3.5 miles!

Thanks for the support. I was looking around at the other people on the treadmills thinking, "Hey, they're probably doing this alone. I'm not alone."

And I continued walking with what seemed like my imaginary friends.

 

[Sandy321]

Ms Mighty!!

Thanks for walking with me today!!! ITs a good thing!!

 

[jeanneg]

I want to play....but only if I can be on the winning team!

We're all WINNERS here! No losers, just came in 2nd or 3rd -- It's all win, place or show!

O Great Panda,

Seeing as how there are some math limited runners around here , I will volunteer to be a mileage tracker and an occasional prodder. Being from Texas, I know that cattle prods work fairly well as an incentive device.

That will be my team, Jeanne.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Oooohhhh, I wanna join y'all! (yes, I'm a Southern belle), but I have cousins that say you'uns too. So I should fit right in, huh?

I haven't kept count of how many miles I have done, so can that come a little later? I may be a 10 mile a week girl at first and then go up from there.

J'eet yet?

We're fixin' too.

 

[tiberius]

I'll join in, too.
