Today is the day that I officially start training.  I am going to sit down with my calendar and SCHEDULE in times for training.  Today I ran 40 minutes.  I ran down Sierra Madre Blvd (to the pool) for 20 minutes and then turned around and came back.  It was HARD!!!  In the afternoon I went to the gym and did 3 sets of shoulders exercises followed by 40 minutes of continuous freestly swim. 

I picked up my bike today....YEAAAAY!!!  I am going to practice clipping in and out of the pedals in the hallway later tonight.  I hope to get efficient and comfortable enough this week so I can do the long ride on Sunday.
