And commit to this in writing! I have decided to do a triathlon. Now before you start thinking there is now way she (that'd be me) can do a triathlon (which would be correct), the one I'm doing isn't until next May. It's also not one of those crazy long ones. A friend's sister did it this last year and it didn't sound impossible and so I told her we needed to do it next year. Marathons have always intrigued me, especially reading about people's experience and made me think about trying one of those, but then I think of what on earth do you do for that many hours while you just run. I'd be bored out of my mind, not to mention all the physical pain. Part of me still wants to become a runner and do the NYC marathon as running through NYC would be awesome, but I dont know that I am ever going to actually be able to convince myself that's a good idea, so for now I am starting small and just going to do a triathlon. To follow suit to Heidi I am blogging about it and so now am committed! I've started a little training for it so far and it's gone fairly well, although my first swim involved a little encounter with a dead frog (eww!) and then last night since it was so late I rode my bike around a small square in my neighborhood about 30 times. I'm hoping that in addition to getting in shape I will also get a nice tan this summer! Wish me luck!
PS - Do you know I have to pay $ to do this??? Seems like you should get paid to put your body through that kind of pain.

Lindsay I'm so excited for you! Good for you! I've thought about a triathalon myself but that's as far as it ever went. You are an inspiration to me! You go girl!
That is so awesome! I just don't understand how anyone could ENJOY doing it....but maybe those "in shape people" don't mind the pain so much.
For me for now, I'll just keep complaining about having to walk 3 houses down to get my mail.
Anyhow, I think that is awesome and what a great goal!
