Triathlon and 1/2 Half Marathon

Michael and I have decided to take on a 1/2 Marathon, hopefully in about 6 weeks. We started training for it about 3 or 4 weeks ago, so far it hasn't been to bad. We have a schedule that we got from Fleet Feet and yesterday I ran for 60 minutes and I measured the distance afterwards and did about 6 miles. I think I really need to speed up my running or I will be taking the amount of time it takes to do a full Marathon. We both are enjoying the challenge and it's great to have something to work towards other than just running for exercise, great incentive. Not that either of us plan on taking place in the race or anything just to finish will be great. I also was just asked to participate in a triathlon at the end of September with some friends! It's just for woman, it's 11 miles of biking and 400 yards of swimming and 3 miles of running. The only part that I am a little nervous about is the swimming, I can swim but I don't know about do it in a race. Again not worried about placing, just finishing the swim part before they finish the race without me. In other words swimming isn't my strongest point! Anyhoo, excited to do both! We are still trying to find a 1/2 marathon that's not on Sunday here in Ca, I guess a lot athletes don't go to church on Sunday? I don't know! I think we may have found one in Big Sur very beautiful scenic view but it might have to many climbing hills, I would like my first 1/2 to be all flat road! Anyway wish me, us luck heaven knows I will need it!!!
