What to do about a buddy

Sunday, July 22, 2012

My walking buddy has about quit on me. We've only walked a couple of times in the last month and 1/2. She had lost her job and we walked just about everyday but now she has a job and has quit walking. We had agreed it would be hard to walk during the week but we did have time on the weekends. I have called several times but failed to be able to talk to her. Do I give up or do I continue to be the pest and try to keep the friendship going. I suppose going the extra mile to keep a good friend is well worth it even if we don't get to interact very often. I think I will continue to call for a while longer. I will probably know when it's time to give up and try to find another work out buddy. Thanks for listening and comments can be made.

    I'd keep checking in with her. At least keep the friendship there, and put a little friendly pressure on her to keep exercising! But you might want to look into finding another buddy as well if you don't like solo exercising...then you can have the best of both worlds! A workout buddy, and a continued friendship with this other person!

    You've got to get another walking buddy, even if it's a neighbors energetic dog! emoticon

    Look for another buddy but check in with her occasionally.

    New job or not, she still needs to get out and exercise. Be a pest! Call and continue until she tells you not to. She needs you right now more than you need her. A new job can be stressful and is never a reason to stop working out. Still look for another buddy though. There is not limit to the buddies you can have. emoticon

    Tough choice to make. I usually go the extra mile but if still no response not much you can do but move on.
