Ready to get back in the saddle- New to this site

Good Morning all!
I am so jazzed about coming across this website in my pursuit of a training plan for a friend interested in Tri-ing. Now- I am the one with a tri in mind.

My ultimate fitness goal is to complete a 1/2 IM distance tri (at least). But for now- my goal is just to get back into shape- get back into running and completing a sprint tri in August. The same tri I was training for in 2002 - but was hindered by a shattered radial head (elbow) caused by mtn. biking. And the same tri I was training for in 2003 when I found out I was pregnant.

Flash forward to 2006; 65 lbs. heavier and not near the time to train (with an awesome 2 year old). I think a sprint tri is the perfect motivation and the perfect distance the amount of time I have to train.

I am a cyclist at heart- A swimmer from the past (swam on team in HS - 24 years ago but have the basics down tight). My biggest hurdle is the run. But I know I can do it- as I was training for a 1/2 marathon when I got pregnant and was up to a 9 mile run.

SO- I am looking so forward to getting tons of ideas here- sharing some of my own and working toward that seemingly unacheivable (due to circumstance) goal of tri-ing.
