Sometimes we just need a little push...

I did the swim/bike practice tonight with the Luna Chix again. It was fun -- the swim was exhausting -- but the more I practice in the lake, the better off I will be...

It was funny -- after the swim we all put on our shoes and did a 7 mile loop on our bikes. I was just finishing up when 2 girls immediately in front of me enticed me to do another loop with them. They said "Come on, let's do another one. It is only another 7 miles. It will be fun!". Sure enough -- that is all it took for me to follow them to do a second loop. Nothing like good old-fashioned peer pressure :)

I ended up thanking them when we were all done -- I told them that besides Travis, nobody really pushes me like that and makes me work harder (most of the time I have to pressure myself - probably 98% of my training has been on my own). I could use more girlfriends like that around here!!
