Introduction

My first triathlon race is on May 12, 2007 in St. George, Utah. Skyler read me an article that said that I should start a blog to keep track of my training and also so that other people can help push me along. I have been training for this race since we returned from Costa Rica in the middle of January. I had a rough start due to shin splints. They were probably caused by my enthuiastic approach to running, which means I started off running too much. Luckily, I was still able to work on my swimming and my biking. All of my activities are going very well.

Anyways, yesterday I ran 2.75 miles in 25 minutes. Then I did yoga for an hour. Yoga is the only activity that I do outside of my swimming, running, and biking. Yoga really relaxes me and strengthens all of my muscles. The class I go to is actually a Yoga Pump class which incorporates the use of light weights for the arms. I like this a lot because I don't put too much emphasis on working out my arms and in this class I get to do that. I really should do more strength training with my arms too so I can have great looking, non-sagging arms. Anyways, tonight is my Spin Class. I enjoy that one a lot because I feel like I am getting a great workout and I put in a full hour.
