I think I could be a cult leader

I recently had lunch with a friend that I see infrequently. By the time we were done with lunch she committed to doing the Susan G Komen with me next September AND despite her initial refusal, now she's likely going to do the May 4 triathalon, too. We are going to set up some co-motivational training dates where we bike/run near her place and on alternate dates bike/run near mine.

"It's only an 80 min bike ride and a 40 min run... ya know ya could do it... and think what great shape your bum will be in by the time you're done getting ready for it."

Yeah, I can pitch this sprint tri. If only I knew how to use my powers to become rich.

Those tri-training teams look very helpful, but they are too expensive for me. I'm self-motivated and yet I really like the idea of a support group, so I'm now getting all the free newsletters that have training suggestions. Maybe that's why I'm nudging my friends - if you can't find a local, affordable tri team, build one from scratch. lol.

What should we call our fledgling Tri Team?
"Parents on the Run"
"Tri-ed and True"
"Triple Threat"
"Tri Bellas"
"Two Gals who want better bums"
"Bum Racers" (<--- cracking myself up)
"Blister Brigade" (hahahaha!)

Hmm... suggestions welcome. I'll have to ask my (soon to be committed) team member what she thinks.

We will need hats and shirts. Every cult has them. And NO DUES! Do it for fun or don't do it at all.

I'm kind of cracking myself up, but I'm kind of serious, too. If [livejournal.com profile] g0atface and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] want to co-motivate and do some training, I'm up for scheduling stuff.

Heh. A cult even I would support! Am immune (to cult-persuasion), and exempt (from running), however.

Ya know, if we put together some roaming biking/running thing, you could do the biking leg even if you don't want to do the running leg. ... food for thought...
