WISH "Social" Teams

[jmasgat]

10/11/10: Updated--new team-joining procedure.

What is a WISH "Social" Team?
WISH Teams have been established for any WISH'er who is interested in interacting with a smaller group of people within the WISH environment. Teams have been helpful to some WISH'ers in providing additional resources, support, and camaraderie beyond the main board; and can be a good way for new WISH'ers to become an intergral part of the WISH family without feeling lost in the "big WISH" Events/Competition forum.

WISH teams are not mandatory, are non-exclusive and are always welcoming to new members and to "visits" by any and all WISH'ers.

How do I get on a team?
The teams listed below are happy to accept new members. They are equally wonderful groups of people. You are free to join any one. Simply find the thread for the team and post your interest. I have tried to list the most current team threads below.

Which teams can I join?

We would love to see any of the Wishers who drifted away come back.

We tend to be an "older" crowd, although; we have several young people with us. We have fast runners and slow walkers (me!) and everyone in between. There are those who love to workout and those who WISH they loved to workout. We have veteran racers and Newbees too! We applaud your efforts, cheer your successess, and pat you on the back for giving it a try!

Okay, how do I get in one of these groups?

 

[iheartdolewhips]

Hello! I would love to join a team! I would really like to be on the Ohana team, if that is ok. Thanks!

As you know from the W&D Half Marathon thread, I've got my eye on that race in October.

I won't make it to the January races in 2011. Do team members need to be working toward the Disney Marathon or half in January to join these groups?

Nope you are good! Some people have never done a Disney race and are or were still on a team. Welcome!

I'd like to sign up for a team. I have registered for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon. I have never run more than 2.5 miles and that was in my 20's. I am using the 2009 WDW half marathon training schedule and am on my way to 3 mile this Saturday, could use a pep talk.

 

[Jusacuz]

I would like to assigned to a new team, please. I don't have any preference of what one, so surprise me.

 

[fairestoneofall]

i'd love to be on a team.

is there any kind of difference in them? or are they just basically the same thing, broken into different groups? if they are the same, then i'm fine wherever. i'm 34, fairly new runner (four miles, four times a week right now), mom of two, wife to one. lol!

and i'm planning to run the donald next year.

 

[RENThead09]

Thank you for volunteering to take care of the team process. I appreciate you taking the time to keep this amazing community going.

I would love to be added to one of the teams.

Just started running about a year ago and did the DL Half and WDW full this past year. Doing DL again and I think I am going for the Goofy this year. I am a "slow and steady finishes the race" type of runner.

And I am really excited that the company I work for just came out with shoes that match the WISH shirts! Gonna buy mine this week.

THANKS AGAIN!

Welcome to all the new WISHers. Pick a team, any team, and enjoy the fun.

Ummmm.....in MY slow book, "slow and steady runners" don't finish a Half in 2 hours and 12 minutes! LOL. That sounds like lightning to me!

 

[jmasgat]

Wow! Good to see so many people. Give me just a little mo' time (wasn't that a song way back when?) to sort things out. I promise within the next day or so, everyone will be put on a team. I will post here and then go over to the team threads to introduce you.

Emily It's pretty much a random collection--and Connie said it in her post. Each team is made up of new and "seasoned" (better than young and old!), walkers, runners, etc.

Thanks for your patience!

Maura

 

[G&GMom]

Hi! I would like to be on a team as well. I am new to running and will be running the Princess 1/2 in March. Thanks!

 

[SamSam]

I've posted on my teams thread, but thought you might need it here as well.
samsam (Sharon) is on Donald's Defiant Dashers...the great Triple D's!

Pulling this so it's over here - (from the Teams 2010 question thread)

Maura,

Can you please add me to a team when you do the rosters. I've kept a WISH journal, but didn't join a team when I started it in Oct- because it was overwhelming to know where to go, which team to join, etc...

I love DisBoards, but so many threads can become overwhelming, and I'm more comfortable checking in with a smaller group or a couple of threads - but hope to find a consistent team that checks in on a regular basis.

New runner (started Oct) and have a few 1/2's on deck this year.

Thank you, Deb

 

[TnTsParty]

Just wanted to update the team roster for the Triple D's - Donald Defiant Dashers

TnTsParty - Tricia
liznboys - Liz
ronda93 - Ronda
ahoff
Hey Mickey - Erica
Sam Sam
Big Vic - Vic

We welcome any others who would like to join our team or any past members of the Triple D's who still would like to be a part of a team. As with the other teams we are a team of new and "seasoned" members so no need to feel intimidated.

 

[ghoulishgirl]

I want to play!
