kaqphin - 2008-10-30 7:05 PM Id LOVE LOVE LOVE to be a coach... really i would... I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! Or a Personal Trainer... or a Spin Instructor... LOVE LOVE LOVE!

 

Do. It. You could probably become a part-time spin instructor, and teach classes before or after "werk."
Definitely do it! That kind of job sounds like so much fun!

Yes, yes you could start by doing it early in the morning before werk... and then you'll start doing it after werk once or twice a week... and then you'll need the weekend crowd to adore you, too... and then you'll be a race director for indoor tris at your gym... and then you'll be running the group fitness department and you won't be doing that werk that you started with, just being paid to work out and hang out and socialize at the gym and manage drama be at the gym (working, of course)... and then you'll be scouting locations for outdoor tris to direct... and kids tris...

You know, hypothetically speaking, of course.

 

Im not sure i have 'race director' in me... might see how my little group of ladies at work goes first... 

Ummm... I am gonna have to disagree with that.  I think you have race director all over you!  Heck, it's easier than organizing a challenge .  Seriously, I'm lucky because we have a tried and true formula so I don't have to do it from scratch, I just have to make sure I can put all the pieces into play, get the volunteers and space, etc.

Id love to get qualified for coaching and then get the chance to set up a womens tri group... that would be like an ideal world! Would need HELP though... admin person and money person (not my areas)

amyro1234 - 2008-10-30 8:09 PM What kind of challenge was Nibbs originally? Was it a swim/bike/run challenge?
It was the "Your Choice" challenge. People got to pick whatever they wanted. There were all sorts of goals. I remember that some people had 5 or 6 goals.

that's right, I remember now - didn't some people even have goals like 'kiss my wife every morning'?

LOL!



Heh, that was Max. And yes, that was one of his goals. He exceeded his goal, too.

Yeah, I agree - she's a Race Director natural. And I can see her as a personal trainer, too. With a whip, even.

haha Im more likely to offer bribes involving SUGAR!

Yep. I sure did. I don't think that I actually ate a box of them at once though. I probably got close though.

Im pretty sure sometime last November/December you had a box for dinner?



Just once? I had LDs for dinner a few times. LOL

triguynewbie - 2008-10-31 11:16 AM First of all who heckles little girls

Oh my goodness! I would have been sooooooooo mad!

My middle daughter told one of them in a very matter of fact tone, "I guess you didn't see the score then." Which is something she overheard me telling a friend on the phone about and hour prior.
Don't say your kids never listen to you.
I have learned they are listening when you think they are not. There is nothing like having your children tell on you to other people when they don't realize it.

Soooo true!!  I frequently call one of my really good friends and say, "I just want to give you a heads up... don't ever let your daughter catch wind of any of your family secrets because she will roll you right under the bus!".  She repeats just about everything she overhears on a very regular basis when I am driving the dance carpool .

One of mine told an old lady from my church that Mommy and Daddy can't come to the phone right now they are in the shower. Wasn't exactly true but nothing like trying to explain that one.

Heh .

My friend and I make our rheumotologist appointments at the same time when we can.  If you've never been to a rheumotologist, let me assure you that if you are my age, you are significantly younger than the rest of the people in the waiting room.  So my friend and I go so our kids can play together while we wait and we can watch each others' kids during each appointment.  It works out great.

So one day we go and there are about 10 not so very spring chickenish patients in the waiting room.  They are totally loving on our kids who are chatty and adorable (of course).  So my friend's daughter starts talking about her dog with this lil'ol'lady.  The lady says, "Oh, is your dog a BIG dog or a LITTLE dog?" and the the kid, who was maybe 3 at the time, says "little".  My friend, who obviously didn't know better than to let it go... first kid and all... pipes in and says, "No sweetie, she is a big dog... in fact what do we call her?  We call her a big ___ "  and waited for the kid to fill in the blank with the word "pooch".  However, her daughter responded with "daddy calls her a big pain in the a$$".  Coulda heard a pin drop.  Classic.

That was the September Swim/Bike challenge.

It took my shoulder a year to recover.

(Actually, it still hasn't recovered. I just stopped swimming.....)

Do. It. You could probably become a part-time spin instructor, and teach classes before or after "werk."

True but what do you do when you have to work late.. its not like you have a lot of forewarning - which really only leaves mornings...

Um. You love mornings, right?
If it something you WANT to do you should do it. You will get paid and get some training in. You cannot beat that.

Precisely. Of course, just be sure not to notice the amount of sleep I don't get on Tuesday nights.

Did I mention the part about overseeing the indoor and outdoor cycling program and getting to lead group rides while being paid?

Yeah, OK, I'll stop bragging about my (fantasy) job (that I don't really have but if I did boy would it be cool) job now .

Wait, I thought this was supposed to be a hypothetical situation.

Ummmm... yes, yes, you're right. I fixed it. That was just a really big typo where I forgot most of the words.

Well, as long as you're having a fantasy discussion - you might want to add in mention of a shiny pink bike, with lots of shiny pink accessories. Just sayin'. Oh, and maybe a sparkly tiara or two.

Mmmm... funny you should mention the "hypothetical" bike.  I just got a hypothetical email with some hypothetical information about the hypothetical zipps and the hypothetical SRAM red components.  Boy that is some hypothetical job .

But I am feeling a little grumpy that they haven't provided me with a tiara.  I always have to bring my own, durn it. BYOT.

D001 - 2008-10-30 8:29 PM I'll celebrate tomorrow night. Maybe I'll have a box of Little Debbie's Swiss Rolls. (LD Swiss Rolls were kind of, um.... well, we talked about them a lot. LOL)
Actually, I think the LD Swiss Rolls picture was my avatar for awhile. LOL

It was!

I had a Twinkie avatar, too. That would have been during October. LOL

You're still a Twinkie to me...

You've never even see a twinkie! Well, not an actual one, anyway. I think I should mail you a box of them.

True - we could make a list of all the food Ive asked about in the last year... here would be a LOT

I got an idea for tomorrow.  We get to dress up.  I figure since I can't wear my tri suit or bike shorts all day I'd dress up my cube as a transition area.  Hang up the wetsuit in one corner with my goggles and transition towel and all set up near it. I think it's funny but my daughter wants to slap me up side the head.
