So Young Now...

INDECISION
For almost two weeks now, I have been thinking constantly about something, and I need to make a decision! I keep going over the pros and cons in my head, and I have certainly passed the point where any new thought or idea is going to arise and weigh on this decision in either way. In other words, I need to decide right now whether I am going to do something a little outside the box, and train for, and participate in an all-female mini-triathalon in August. Right now I am probably in the best cardiovscular shape of my life, (although I have certainly looked better in my younger and pre-baby days!)---and I just turned 42 years old last month (OUCH!). If I don't do it now, when will I ever do it?? But here is the kicker for me: I have to swim. I never learned how to swim! I would have to swim 1/2 mile (35 laps!)---in the Schuylkill River (YUCK!)! So I have to get over my apprehension in the water, take some lessons, and do a lot of swimming in the next few months! The other legs of the triathlon are biking for 15 1/2 miles (although I haven't biked outside in a number of years, I feel like I can train for this) and running for 3.1 miles. I don't run at all, but I think that is also something I can learn to do over the next few months. But swimming? Yikes. There are a lot more pros and cons racing around in my head, but the swimming is the big one that will make or break this decision! If I don't decide soon, I will drive myself crazy!
