*Actually* In the training now

The running and the biking regiments have officially commenced. I'm getting out a few times a week with the running and spending at least 20 minutes a day on the bike trainer getting used to Aero position; I think I have been too far forward on the bike and that has been making things more difficult than I would like. I'm looking forward to the time when I can spend over an hour in the position without too much discomfort.

Certainly the biggest, and most welcomed, upset to the training has been the teaching. After all, I picked the Ironman goal due to all the energy I was unable to spend on teaching. Finding a balance was not something I thought I would have to do, but now I am giving it my best shot. Whether or not I will *still* be teaching in one month is unclear right now.
