My wife has challenged me to a triathlon of sorts tomorrow. The race starts by running 1 mile then going to the basketball court and making 50 shots, then going to the pool and swimming 3 laps.
For the first event the steaks are pretty high. The winner gets to choose all restaurant and chooses what the loser will eat at the restaurant for 1 month or until the loser looses 10 lbs. We will be doing this once a month.
Anyone that knows me knows I am a fierce competitor degenerate gambler and I love to step up the stakes so I quickly offered some additional rules.
If someone should win 2 consecutive triathlon events the winner gets to choose what side of the bed they get to sleep on (this counts and home and vacation) for 6 months.
If someone should win 5 consecutive triathlon events the winner gets naming rights to our next child (can you say jeremy jr).
If someone should win 10 consecutive triathlon events the winner gets to choose where we will be buried.
Now my wife has not agreed to the 3 extra things I threw out. I think she is chicken but whatever. I will be victorious tomorrow.

are you kidding, my fingers get plenty of exercise!!!
April 9, 2007 at 3:45 am
It is good to have some excercise when you are sitting in front of the PC every day.
April 9, 2007 at 3:43 am
It is good to have some exercise regulary.
April 3, 2007 at 6:09 am
This just popped up again in my Bloglines, but it looks like you have a week left until round 2 eh?
March 11, 2007 at 7:27 pm
Still waiting on that video!
March 11, 2007 at 3:06 pm
The picture is fake? Or the check is?
March 11, 2007 at 8:58 am
Hey, great post. I used your example in a post on my site, Romance Tracker, to illustrate how can build better relationships. Thanks, ShoeMoney!
March 11, 2007 at 5:28 am
no shit man
March 11, 2007 at 12:49 am
Woops, typo
March 10, 2007 at 11:18 pm
That’s how to make Jeremy really loose
March 10, 2007 at 6:06 pm
those are some strict rules, hopefully next month will go your way
March 10, 2007 at 1:52 pm
Thanks for the advice jim.
March 10, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Yeah I think you are right… my mistake.
March 10, 2007 at 12:21 pm
and put a laxative in her tea
March 10, 2007 at 12:21 pm
Anytime you have to say “sorry for plugging my own…” you probably shouldn’t do it. That’s like saying, “I don’t mean to offend you/anyone, but [insert racial/gender slur or derogatory comment]“
March 10, 2007 at 12:20 pm
Shoe’s name appears but I’m pretty sure that was Mrs. Shoe.
March 10, 2007 at 12:18 pm
Wow, this is a great way for me to reclaim the good side. Thanks Shoe!
March 10, 2007 at 12:08 pm
Oh for sure!
March 10, 2007 at 11:36 am
Arreh? The huge check is a dummy for a magazine.
March 10, 2007 at 11:20 am
Hope you are swimming indoors seems a weeeee bit chilly eh?
March 10, 2007 at 11:20 am
Tie her shoes together
March 10, 2007 at 10:29 am
Ok, i have to admit it is the same here :O
March 10, 2007 at 10:22 am
That picture of you with the Azoogle ads check is fake.
March 10, 2007 at 10:22 am
That photo of you with the Azoogle ads check is fake.
March 10, 2007 at 8:57 am
Of course you’ll beat her! With so much at stake how can you afford to lose?
March 10, 2007 at 7:33 am
Do you have to make 50shots in a row or you can spend the whole day there?
March 10, 2007 at 7:26 am
Gee.. Put that up if you would have one. It would definitely be hilarious!
March 10, 2007 at 5:22 am
Video? Awesome!
March 10, 2007 at 5:15 am
Can i be your neighbor ? any house for rent near you ? (o’.'o)
March 10, 2007 at 4:07 am
Stay strong Jeremy… I hear eating at Amigo’s isn’t that bad…
March 10, 2007 at 4:07 am
Jeremy, next time you should pick something on your league, like challenge her to see who build the most trafficked website or the most successful affiliate program.
March 10, 2007 at 2:36 am
Your wife will win it.(Although you can)
March 10, 2007 at 1:35 am
him? I hope she doesn’t read your blog or it won’t matter if you win
March 10, 2007 at 12:40 am
lol, good luck Shoe!
March 9, 2007 at 11:50 pm
this is quite funny. i voted in favour of your wife that reason why i did this is because we all compture freaks spend hrs in front of computer and we have not much physical exercise on the other hand ur wife is doing a tough job as a doctor. So i think she is more strong than you.
March 9, 2007 at 10:45 pm
Hey Shoe. Good luck to you! That sounds like a blast although I would STRUGGGGLE at the swimming.
Similar to a sporting event I’m trying to get started called Getaway Games. Sorry for plugging my own event but this was right along the same lines so I couldn’t resist. Thought maybe you and your wife could come to Illinois and get a team in June
Or maybe an ‘Internet Marketer/Blogger’ all-star team! lol…
March 9, 2007 at 10:11 pm
Yup, he could be nicknames ‘JJ’
March 9, 2007 at 10:10 pm
she gets the right side doesn’t she?
March 9, 2007 at 10:10 pm
The loser needs preperation time to bring the A game so one month sounds superb
March 9, 2007 at 10:09 pm
Hey Y’all, just want to say thanks for all the support. Our neighbors are judging the competition and we hope to have some video as well. I think I will out run him but will probably fall behind in the basketball and the swimming will be an even match. I am no athelete either but the whole plan is to have some fun working out. J.
March 9, 2007 at 10:08 pm
Haha, good luck at that Jeremy
March 9, 2007 at 8:42 pm
Hopefully, she does.
haha.. Be a man and let the lady choose her place!
March 9, 2007 at 8:04 pm
That typo could be a hint at what Shoe fears losing control of most: choosing what the loser will eat at the restaurant for 1 month.
March 9, 2007 at 8:01 pm
Mo for short.
Mo’money, Mo’money….
March 9, 2007 at 7:46 pm
BTW, a highlight film would make a killer You Tube video.
March 9, 2007 at 7:45 pm
Excellent point. Be careful what you wish for.
March 9, 2007 at 7:44 pm
Those are some high stakes!
March 9, 2007 at 7:40 pm
Go Shoe! I’m routing for ya man.
March 9, 2007 at 7:35 pm
You should have some one record it so we can watch.
March 9, 2007 at 7:16 pm
Yep Jeremy, I reckon you will win. It aint easy, I know I’d be stuffed in no time, the only thing that makes it happen is sheer determination.
Good luck – but then, good luck to your wife too.. after all, who else would do all this with you (not that I know you or your wife)..
JL.
March 9, 2007 at 6:21 pm
haha shoemoney is losing
March 9, 2007 at 6:02 pm
I love the way you have “No” as option number one
March 9, 2007 at 6:01 pm
I think my wife would kick my ass. Maybe a little more info on your wife’s athletic ability would give us a better gauge for voting. Good Luck anyway. Jeremy Jr. has a nice ring to it.
March 9, 2007 at 5:56 pm
Go shoemoney wife!
March 9, 2007 at 5:50 pm
If you’re as good at triathlons as you are PPC, you should have no problems taking her
March 9, 2007 at 5:45 pm
lol
way to spice it up
March 9, 2007 at 5:39 pm
Good luck..
I know my wife would be beat thats for sure.
March 9, 2007 at 5:27 pm
or Money Schoemaker
March 9, 2007 at 5:18 pm
Ha, good luck. I always feel so much better when I am working out and active.
I’m sure it will be good for you both! I’ll bet a steak on that one.
March 9, 2007 at 5:03 pm
I voted no.. so prove me wrong! It seems totally sweet though.. to have mini contests with the wife.
March 9, 2007 at 5:01 pm
Dont beat her dude. You will pay for it longer than a month!
March 9, 2007 at 4:58 pm
ohh we have settled… basically its whatever she wants =)
March 9, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Sounds like a nice competition. Are either of you good at b-ball?
March 9, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Man, those stakes get pretty high by the end. If you lose play dumb and tell her you thought she meant “steaks”.
March 9, 2007 at 4:53 pm
Lot of risks there. heh How about the loser has to jog behind the other person who’s driving family vehicle, with a donut hanging out the window? Around the block of course.
March 9, 2007 at 4:53 pm
You haven’t settled who sleeps on which side of the bed yet? Why is that?
March 9, 2007 at 4:22 pm
lol…good luck shoe…I say you name the next child Luke
March 9, 2007 at 4:19 pm
That’s a great bet! You should do it every week.
