I started my triathlon training yesterday. I promise not to bore you with the training details, but some of my blogs are like mileposts. This was sort of day one. I did a half-mile swim, seven mile bike, and three mile run. I know I can finish a sprint triathlon. The question is how long it will take me! Got a long ways to go.

Took Parker along for the run last night. The kid is a jack rabbit. I’m huffing and puffing and he’s talking up a storm!

Gotta love running in DC. Most of my routes take me by the Capitol. So last night we ran right by the freshman senator from Virginia, Jim Webb. And Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Senator from Texas, gave us a big smile as we ran by. It was like a running class in politics. I kept telling Parker who these different people were!
