Time to kick it in the butt

I finally got my times from my triathlon!  What I learned from my time I need to cut my swim time down by half.  I am not sure how to do that without using all my energy and not having anything left for the run and bike.  Please help if you have any suggestions?   My bike is just above average it wouldn’t hurt to get faster on the bike.  My run was better than I thought for how terrible I felt but it was still bad.   Overall I was pleased I didn’t get last and I didn’t get first but I still had a really good time.
I have taken about two weeks off of any major training and I feel so sluggish.  I was talking to my husband about it and we decided that we need to create a serious training plan.  I start my half marathon training with my girlfriends in October.  I made the schedule only two days during the week and one long run on the weekend this way I can still train for triathlons.  I am really excited to start the half marathon training I really do enjoy doing half’s and I am glad so many of my friends want to do it to.  I even convinced my best friend who has never run to do it with me.  I think she is secretly excited about it!  We are looking into doing the New Orleans Mardi Gra half has anyone done that one? 
I did a group run last Tuesday and Mizuno was there fitting shoes.  I needed a new pair of shoes desperately but I have only worn Asics.  I was excited to get fitted again and try out a new brand of shoes.  Of course they didn’t have them in the store, I had to order them hopefully they will be here next week.  I also want to get some Zoots when I do triathlons I don’t have to worry about socks and can slip them on and go.   I would post a picture of the Mizuno I got but I can’t remember the name.   Sorry no pictures this post!
