The biking and running distances are slightly shorter than the Danskin triathlon, and the swimming is the same. There is no question I&#8217;ll be ready for that one if I keep training at this pace.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSo, I may end up doing two triathlons this summer, or maybe only one. But in any case, for my birthday (on Sept. 14), I&#8217;ll be able to tell myself, &#8220;Congratulations, you&#8217;re in shape!&#8221; And give myself the gift of not having to workout every day anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; You can imagine how disappointing it was to receive this letter.
