Thanks everyone! I committed to the coaching last night and now am waiting for someone to get back to me to work out the details.

Good ideas here. I especially like "write down everything you can think of" -- I definitely have the problem where I can remember the top couple of things and a few of the less important things, but forget a few in the middle I wanted.

I would hate the 5 miles on the trainer! I imagine we may do a little bit that way, but much of the stuff I'm thinking about (hills, corners, etc) would be much tougher without actually getting outside. I'm starting to really look forward to this when before all I felt was confused and intimidated. Yay TE!
