WISH "Social" Teams

[grstink]

Hi Maura,
I would also like to join a team.
I am a late starter to walk/running, since I only began fast walking after my retirement last year (daughter got me into it).
I am somewhat of a newbie; doing last year's Family 5k, Virtual Turkey 10K, and doing this year's Princess Half. We are also contemplating doing the January races in 2011.
Everyone here has been so supportive and helpful throughout my first year that I would love to join a team and be able to help others as well.
Thanks

Hi all,

I'm a UK Diser but would love to be part of the WISH team. I'm a keen runner with several marathons under my belt (mostly London) but have signed up to for next years Goofy and am really excited.

I'm also trying to shift the 20+lbs of Christmas (and most other major holidays for the past five years) weight. I'm hoping to be trim in time for the Edinburgh Marathon in May and then keep it off for the Goofy.

Looking forward to meeting you virtually and otherwise,

Liam

I would love to join a team as well. Somewhat of a newbie. 35 yo from Massachusetts. Did the DL Half in 2008 and Disney Marathon in 2009. Mainly walk but starting to run more.

Plans for 2010 include Princess Half, Indy Half (5/09), Boston Half (6/09), and Disneyland Half. Want to get a Coast to Coast Medal this year.

Hi Maura,

Could you assign me to a team?

Thanks.

I'd love to be assigned to a team, I think it's time to stop lurking around.

Oh I guess I should share I'm in my late 20s. I've run/walked the Tower of Terror 13k all three times and I've done some road races around here. I'll be running my first half marathon in June.

Hi Maura,
I'd like to be assigned to a team as well if there's still room. I've just started training for the half in 2011 and I love the idea of a small group.

Thanks, Amy

I would like a new home too please, its sad that the Buzzies are no more.

I would love to join a team. I come as a couple though since my husband, Bob, and I are doing this together every step of the way. His speed won't count since he is resigned to stick with me so, at this point our pace is around 11-11.5. We finished our last 5K around 34 minutes but hope to be faster by the time the WDW Half comes around.
We are running the Half but are interested in being WISH volunteers the next day for the Full Marathon to cheer everyone else on.
Is there a team with room for two more? We are in PA and plan on doing a local 5K (at least, if not 10K ect.) every month this year. I will proudly wear a WISH T-shirt and look for others to talk Disney while we run!
Thanks so much for organizing this!

This is all that I have up to this point as I have not heard from any other previous warrios.

Thanks sooo much!

I have been lurking for a couple of weeks and have decided that I would like to be a part of a team. I am sorry that I missed your assignments done earlier today...please feel free to place me where ever you feel is best. Here is some information that might help...

I am new to running (just started this month) and am doing the couch to 5K training. I am totally dedicated to making this work though - I have been running in snow, ice, below zero temperatures.

I am registered to do my first 5K in April of this year and plan on scheduling other races since my long term goal is to do the Princess Half Marathon in 2011.

I thought I hated running but now actually look forward to it!

Can't wait to find a team to begin to chat with!

Thanks for your time...
Jen

Syko will be joining Hakuna Matata! Thanks!

 

[Forthemedal]

I would like to be put on a team. I am 37 years old and I am a walker more than a runner. I just signed up to do the 1/2 at DLR in September and need to stay motivated so I can maybe get to wogging instead of just walking. This will be my third 1/2 and the one I feel I am looking forward to the most.
Thanks,

 

[Schmorks]

I would also like to join a team. I completed my first marathon at Disney due in part to the great advice from all the people on the board and I'm planning on running 2011!

Hi does one have to actually run for WISH charity to be part of a team? If not then I'd love to be part of a team (any one is fine with me.) I'm a 54 slightly overweight run/walker,with no race for sure on the horizon.
