How many of you feel it is your obligation
to help newbies to sports or fitness?
I feel called to it. Thus, Sunday morning, a relocated runner and I will go do the local track club ride. Later I will assist another in other sports.

I, too, feel the strong obligation to help people achieve a better quality of living through safety. To that end, I strongly discourage participation in any activities outside of the home. When you don't go bike riding or when you don't go for a run, you're much less likely to get hit by a car or a van full of hippies head to a pot rally. I won't even go into the dangers of swimming or rock climbing. My advice: stay inside, enjoy the A/C, surf the web -- if you feel the need to be adventurous, watch ESPN or Discovery.
Stay safe.

I always find it fulfilling to help others... do I feel an obligation to do it? not really. I just like helping other people. I sure appreciate that you feel an obligation though... you've been very helpful to me.

It is peculiar though that I feel more compelled to help cute females, more than guys. I wonder why.
Several guys were noticing how I keep showing up with two to three youngish fit women. I'm certain its my basic altruism at work. Pride hope to see you at the ULCER.

I introduced a guy to cycling last year. He hadn't ridden at all since he was a kid riding his BMX to school. He was an occasional runner and basketball player, but other than that had very little exercise over the past 2 decades.
Fast forward 1 year from taking up the bike. He has now left me in the dust and hardly even slows down to ask if I want him to wait for me. He's definitely a natural endurance athlete. I'm happy for him as he really enjoys the sport, and really, its good for me too, as riding with stronger riders makes me all the stronger. |
