I'm really doing it!

A triathlon!!! I am all signed up and everything. I started training 3 weeks ago and am still going strong (minus the few days off as of late due to a nasty cold). I go running 3 times a week with an awesome running group. These girls are pure motivation for me! Tyson bought me a road bike and I love it! So me and Chrissy go biking once or twice a week. Lastly, I swim in our apartment's pool because another friend of mine took the measurements so I know how many laps I need to do. I swim twice a week. And of course I wouldn't know what the heck I was doing if it weren't for my sister! She is huge into triathlons....a real athlete. She's sponsored and everything. You can read about her races here. Anyways, she made this incredible training plan for me (and about 10 other of my friends) to follow. Some days it kicks my butt but I am getting better each day. I am so excited for it! There's no turning back now!!!

Oh and I forgot to mention that sometimes this little guy is my running buddy too....
