I'm B-a-a-a-a-a-ck

I've decided to try again. I have convinced a friend from work, while 2 of my friends from church have convinced me, that we need to run a 1/2 marathon. It will be in October, so I have time to prepare. I am also going to do the sprint tri that I was going to do last year and didn't get to. I have a thesis to write this summer, but i can do that anytime I want, so I have time to go running in the morning. I also had a friend clue me in on the cheap pool on the other end of town. It's only $1 or 2 for adults to swim at weird hours. I'm talking 7 am or 8 pm, so, it's worth it. I just have to go :) I've decided that I'm going to train on the crappy bike so that the bike riding will be hard for now. Then a month before the race I'll get a nice road bike, not too expensive, cause I don't know how much I want to pursue this triathlon thing, but a nicer one than I have right now, and then the riding will be easier. (How about THAT runon sentence:) The tri is in August, I figure the training for the half marathon will cover the running. I'm already up to 5 miles 2 days a week, so I should be good for August. Now I just have to do all that swimming and biking stuff. sigh. The swimming will be the hardest, don't know how I'm going to handle it.
