Subject: East Coast Phone chain

sometimes i have a big issue with waking up to go swimming.  I was thinking if i could get someone to call me in the morning and tell me to get my A$$ out of bed i would feel guilty and get ready to go to the pool.

So i am offering to start or be a part of a phone chain where we call everyone at say 5:30am, this really goes for the east coast people.

Any one want to give it a go?

Great way to keep accountable.

Just trying to give you a motivating "kick" since I start a little too early for your phone tree.

I'd give this a try on the days that I am off work. It would be motivation for me to get into the pool when Bally's is emptier

Tues/Thurs. I'm out on the road by 6:00 running (usually) and Wed./Fri. I'm out the door and on the way to the pool by 5:30. Monday is rest day (still up by 6:15 or so for work and to take out the dog).

My cell is nationwide (no long distance/roaming). Guess if all else fails I could be on the list as a caller.

I think this is great idea, I also have a terrible time getting out of bed in the morning to go workout...but if I had to send/receive a call that early I would probably get up and moving. My swim days are currently on tuesday and Friday during the week...but I would be glad to get up other days for a spin or run....

Ok it seems things are rolling with this, maybe we can layout who wants to be call:  Please give the day(s) and time, then we can break it down that way.  Then after that we can start getting the phone chain together.

I would liked to be called. 
5am  Tue/Wed

I don't want to be called (I tend to have very little problems getting up since I've been doing it awhile now), but I can call at the times I listed in my earlier post.

Just throwing another idea out there...there are services that provide wake up calls.  Mycalls.net is $4.49 a month for a daily wake up call.  It wouldn't work if you are looking for someone else who is training to guilt you into waking up though.  Just a suggestion!

Scene: a married couples bedroom
Time: 5:45 am

RING!! RING!!

Husband (answering the phone): "uh? Yeah. Right. Thanks. I'm getting up and calling triboogie right now....Yeah, you too."
Wife (as Husband starts to dial phone): What was that about? Who or what is a 'triboogie'?
Husband: "It was my training wake up call from one of the people on that triathlon website. Triboogie is the next person in line for me to call."

I don't know about you, but in my house the next thing uttered by Wife would not be appropriate for this forum.

My cell phone alarm ring tone, which is set to a sweet, melodic forest chimes tune, is already bad enough.  If the actual phone rang at 5:55 am I'd be either livid or worried that someone had an untimely death.   

That said, speaking to an actual teammate about meeting at the pool ASAP or sharing a ride to get there is the best motivator ever!  If ya'll swam at my pool we'd have one big party every Mon/Wed morning.

I'm still in. Klein even if its just you and I and Daermo, oh well.

I'll have different days too, maybe we PM each other the day before or every Sunday for a schedule? Just an idea.

I don't have Marma-i'mmarriedmywifewouldntlikethiswhosyour-daddy's problem so the extra guilt help and accountability would be nice.

Oh, ok. Your situation is similar to Marmawho'syourdaddys then. I see. I guess your Spooning partner wouldn't want a 5am wakeup call either.

See, no spooning going on at my place so call away!

I really dont want to hear your Spooning status. Besides, what if I go to bed earlier than you and dont get the PM until the next day after I work out?

Anyway, serious callers/recievers please!
