marymosc13's group THE V.A.M.P.S., FULL (Page 4)

what's in a name? so many things... i've been looking through lists of greek and roman and celtic gods and goddesses of mythology to see if there's one that suits us...

so far:

Vertumnus - greek god who had the power to change his shape

Andraste - celtic goddess of victory

Maeldun  - a celtic hero who went on a legendary voyage

Peitho - greek goddess of persuasion

so since we're women looking to change our shape(s), seeking victory on our legendary voyage to triathlete status and sometimes need some persuasion to get off our butts and get movin'... how about we call ourselves,

the VAMPS?

Sounds good to me!! Very creative! You've obviously done your research! LOL!

We've only heard from four members so far on the name, but if we're a democracy, then majority rules???

we are now the group formerly known as marymosc13's group - the vamps!

i'm calling your boss to tell her you have too much free time on your hands...researching random gods, please woman

ha ha, you know i'm just jealous i didn't do it for my group.

ROCK ON V.A.M.P.S

you still can do it for your group. heck, i'll research it for you, but my hourly research rate just went up to 20 bucks an hour...

Greetings all, I hope you are all doing fabulous.

I am writing to tell you there's a challenge on the table, ladies.

My sister Carol - who is also mentoring a group - suggested that our groups compete to rack up the most total minutes working out during February. Everything would count, walking, yoga, weight training (so logging the time spent will be key) Mosc11's group has already started the smack-talking, so I hope you will get fired up and join in this challenge.

She's offering the member of her group who gets the most minutes during the challenge a $10 gift card to the store of your choice. I'll match that offer to you guys. Not sure what we'll bet each other, maybe a dinner out or babysitting.

If everyone is in, please let me know... challenges can be very motivating - we did one in November and I'm tellin' ya, it can make the difference between getting your workout in and not. Carol won that one, so we need to come out on top this time!

and another thing, i was thinking that you all might like to see the pictures my husband took of my first sprint triathlon - the Danskin - so you could get an idea of what it might be like...

just PM me your offline email and i'll forward you the link.

Count me in too! I have been watching the challenge board for something I could do, and haven't seen anything so I am ready to get those minutes in!

secret to today's workout - even if you don't feel like working out/running/swimming... get dressed anyway. once you are in your gym clothes/swim suit/running gear, chances are you won't just sit on your a$$! worked for me today.
