Winter Wishes

Team,
Please read this message from Sandy its for a really good cause.

Each holiday season, children eagerly wait to open a gift from their wish list. Sadly, not all families have the means to buy even the most basic gift—from a new hat to a pair of warm boots.

This year, you can make sure a child doesn’t feel forgotten at gift-giving time. Email Sandy S. (Sandra.Szlachtianchyn@wunderman.com) if you’d like to take part in the New York Cares Winter Wishes Program.

Volunteers will be asked to accept a gift request and then purchase, wrap, and send the gift.

Wannabees 1 Year Anniversary Party – Potluck

The Wannabees and Former Track Stars will be celebrating our 1 Year anniversary on Sunday December 5th 2010 at 4:30 PM.

There are many victories to celebrate. Some of you have lost up to 30 pounds, run your first official race and even traveled out of the country to run races.

If you will be attending the party please leave a comment below with the dish that you will be bringing to avoid having 5 pans of fried chicken.

See everyone there.

November Goals Competition Announcement

As October is coming to an end most of you are probably thinking about what you would like to accomplish in November or before 2010 comes to a close.

The Wannabees are here to help.

On Monday November 1st a Goal report will be posted to the site for all interested runners and at the end of November a prize will be awarded to the top three runners that accomplish their goals or come closest to them.

For example let’s say you are running the Disney Marathon in January, The Philly Marathon in November, The 5 Mile Turkey Trot, 10K Team Race in January or you want to make it to the 100 plus club.

You have to run a set number of miles per month/ per week in order to achieve your goal.

Nothing like a healthy dose of competition to help you stick to your goals and even surpass them. Not only will the competition help but the accountability factor as well. As a result of fellow Bees knowing how you are progressing.

The rules along with further instructions on how to compete will be posted to site Monday morning.

So take the next two days to think about your goals.

FITNESS® Mind, Body + Spirit Games

Bees,
Great job to all of the runners that showed up on Saturday and special thanks to all those that came out to support.
Now that we have the 5 Mile Team Championship behind us it’s time to start training for our next big race in which every runner on our team plays a critical role.
This race counts towards team points so the times of our top Male and Female runners are ranked against the other teams.

The goal is to have a Minimum of 14 committed Bees (7 guys, 7 ladies) dedicated to setting a 4 Mile personal record on September 11th. This will require hard work and consistency.

So if you’re up for a challenge please leave a comment with your current 4 Mile time, your race day goal and register for the race

Philadelphia Marathon anyone?

Ok so Rohan and Ahmed (aka "One big muscle" aka "Shirts are optional) have decided to run this years Philadelphia Marathon on Nov.21
We would love for members of the Bees to come join us in the run or just to show some support. It is in the city of brotherly love so this means it is only a day trip away.

We are looking to get down on Friday and head back later evening Sunday but if you are not running any time before the trip is fine.

The cost right now is $125 for the marathon and $100 for the 1/2. There is also an 8k and a kids race, so there is something for every runner.

If you are down I have a 16 week training program that I am starting next week or you can use a regular 18 week program and bee (pun intended) in shape by race day.

Let me know asap. I am looking to register before the week is out.

Lashawna's Running Testimony

"Running without pressure but with challenge"...That is the best way
to describe this group.

I joined the Wannabee's running group under the assumption of
running with a group of cool people a few times a week
all while dropping a few pounds... But I'll have to say my experience
thus far has definitely exceeded my expectations.
Within the first month I ran over 60 miles of which 13.16 were
contributed by running my very first Half-Marathon in Toronto!
I was encouraged at the last minute to fill in for a team member who wasn't able to make it and it turn out to be a great challenge...I surprised the group and most of all myself.
I've never run further than 8 miles total at one time and I actually
finished in a respectable time of 2hrs 11 min and 37 seconds, lol! The
drive to and from the race was very eventful filled with jokes, pictures of Niagara Falls, detainment at canadian border and horrible encounter with Bambi. The entire weekend w/the group was the best experience I've had in a long time.

I can honestly say I'm proud to be a "Wannabee" and plan to continue to
allow the group to challenge me!

Marie's Running Testimony

The key to my success and happiness in life has always been the great people I surround my self with; that being said, becoming a member of the “Wannabees and former trackstars” has been my best New York City experience.

I joined the Wannabees in October of 2009 with very little running skills, but with great determination, and dedication, and have since managed to exceed goals that I thought were beyond my reach.

My first day of training, which should have been a 40minute run, was more of a “run and walk”. After listening to constructive criticism from Delshon and Travis, members and co-producers of the group, I continued training. My first race was the Prospect Park Turkey Trot 5mile run; which I ran in 50minutes a great success for me. That race built my confidence tremendously. The New York Road Runners 4miles run to benefit the victims of the earthquake in Haiti two months later was emotional for me being of Haitian decent and having family there. I wanted so much to go there to assist, but decided that my best contribution would be in raising awareness, and being part of a great fundraiser. Some members of the team joined me in doing the race while others came out to support. It felt like one great big family, and I was almost overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support for my homeland. At the finish line I thanked God for connecting me with the Wannabees and Former Trackstars.

The training and encouragement I received from our now coaches Delshon and Travis, and fellow team members has allowed me to seek new challenges leading up to my latest and greatest achievement, completion of the Missisagua- half marathon in Canada.

I look forward to many future adventures and running victories with the Wannabees and former Trackstars.

Travis's Running Testimony

After two months of tough training the day was at hand, could I have prepared more, yes but I thought I was at a good place mentally and physically to complete the monster in 3h10m so I could qualify for Boston. Little did I know one slight change in my wardrobe would lead to me not reaching my goal. What you may ask was that slight change, well that slight change was my race day shorts.
So race day is here I'm feeling and looking good (trust looking good race day goes a long way especially when you see your race pic lol). The race begins my goal is to run the first 20miles at a 7min pace and then try to finish the last 6 at a 7:30 pace which would bring me to my 3h10m goal. Mile 18 hits and I can't hold my 6:55 pace so I drop to 7:10 for miles 19 an 20. Then all hell breaks loose.
Mile 21 I begin chaffing between my inner legs. It's so much rubbing I begin to bleed I can't take the pain anymore so I funny walk for miles 21 and 22 (15 mins each) looking for the water station to get some cream,while cramping up in ways unknown to man. A sight of joy in the distance a water station joy joy joy, only to find out the station didn't have any cream. My spirit drops and just as my dreams were about to come to an end I see Henry and Sandy. Henry didn't have cream but what he had I was going to use. What did he have you might ask was chap-stick lol. I quickly unscrewed the bottom took the first half applied it on my right leg and the other half on the left I was back baby for all of one mile until it ran out lol.
Three miles left Del ins closing in on me and time's slipping away, I said ok im not making my 3:10 but I know I can't have Del pass me. Oh I forgot I asked Henry to run to The next station to get me some cream only God knew where he was because I couldn't see him. So I sucked it up put my hand between my legs and ran the last 3 miles in pain that I've never felt before. I finally came to the finish with a time of 3:46 collapsed and was wheelchaired to the medical tent where I got a great massage :-).

Introduction to The Blog

Bees,
After exceeding our storage capacity on the Google Groups site we moved communication to email. Which has proved to be some what effective but very manual. Some times people weren't sure where the runs were, start times or locations. This blog has been established as a reference tool, a place to share advice and most importantly talk trash ( Travis & Vince).

We hope everyone takes full advantage of the blog. Another goal of this blog is for members to make guest post,regarding advice about training diet or a race that you think we should run.
