Anticipation

Well tomorrow is the official first day of my training for the mini triathlon and then the half marathon.  I have been doing some running up to this point, but tomorrow will mark the first day of this journey that I will be taking for the next eight or more months.

I bought my Mizuno running shoes tonight, thanks to a gift card from a good friend.  I have measured the distance around the block, .5 miles, and I am ready for the morning. 

My goal for this week is 3 miles per day.  That is the exact distance for the mini triathlon.  I haven't found anywhere to swim yet.  I also need to find and purchase a bike to start riding, but those things are second to running.  Everyone I talk to says that the swimming is easy, and the biking is easier, if you can get your feet off of the pedals. 

I am somewhat nervous about the running after talking to some people.  It is the last part of the race, and can be the most challenging, that is why I start training for it in the morning.  Wish me luck, and follow this blog, or anyone is welcome to join me and train for the mini triathlon.
