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!!!
It is good to have some excercise when you are sitting in front of the PC every day.
It is good to have some exercise regulary.
This just popped up again in my Bloglines, but it looks like you have a week left until round 2 eh?
Still waiting on that video!
The picture is fake? Or the check is?
Hey, great post. I used your example in a post on my site, Romance Tracker, to illustrate how can build better relationships. Thanks, ShoeMoney!
no shit man
Woops, typo
That’s how to make Jeremy really loose
those are some strict rules, hopefully next month will go your way
Thanks for the advice jim.
Yeah I think you are right… my mistake.
and put a laxative in her tea
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]“
Shoe’s name appears but I’m pretty sure that was Mrs. Shoe.
Wow, this is a great way for me to reclaim the good side. Thanks Shoe!
Oh for sure!
Arreh? The huge check is a dummy for a magazine.
Hope you are swimming indoors seems a weeeee bit chilly eh?
Tie her shoes together
Ok, i have to admit it is the same here :O
That picture of you with the Azoogle ads check is fake.
That photo of you with the Azoogle ads check is fake.
Of course you’ll beat her! With so much at stake how can you afford to lose?
Do you have to make 50shots in a row or you can spend the whole day there?
Gee.. Put that up if you would have one. It would definitely be hilarious!
Video? Awesome!
Can i be your neighbor ? any house for rent near you ? (o’.'o)
Stay strong Jeremy… I hear eating at Amigo’s isn’t that bad…
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.
Your wife will win it.(Although you can)
him? I hope she doesn’t read your blog or it won’t matter if you win
lol, good luck Shoe!
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.
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…
Yup, he could be nicknames ‘JJ’
she gets the right side doesn’t she?
The loser needs preperation time to bring the A game so one month sounds superb
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.
Haha, good luck at that Jeremy
Hopefully, she does.
haha.. Be a man and let the lady choose her place!
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.
Mo for short.
Mo’money, Mo’money….
BTW, a highlight film would make a killer You Tube video.
Excellent point. Be careful what you wish for.
Those are some high stakes!
Go Shoe! I’m routing for ya man.
You should have some one record it so we can watch.
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.
haha shoemoney is losing
I love the way you have “No” as option number one
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.
Go shoemoney wife!
If you’re as good at triathlons as you are PPC, you should have no problems taking her
lol
way to spice it up
Good luck..
I know my wife would be beat thats for sure.
or Money Schoemaker
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.
I voted no.. so prove me wrong! It seems totally sweet though.. to have mini contests with the wife.
Dont beat her dude. You will pay for it longer than a month!
ohh we have settled… basically its whatever she wants =)
Sounds like a nice competition. Are either of you good at b-ball?
Man, those stakes get pretty high by the end. If you lose play dumb and tell her you thought she meant “steaks”.
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.
You haven’t settled who sleeps on which side of the bed yet? Why is that?
lol…good luck shoe…I say you name the next child Luke
That’s a great bet! You should do it every week.
