Since mother nature still isn't cooperating with my snow pleades, I've decided to amp up my workouts for the week.


I did a Spin class this morning and was pleasantly surprised at how well I did considering it was only my 4th class ever.

So as stated in the first entry on this blog, I've been training for some 5k races in the spring. After 2 bouts of th colds and finally getting into a routine, it seems like my training has to come to a halt.


I've been completing the Couch to 5k program which is an 8 week training program designed to get someone from never running to running a 5k in that period of time. Sounds like a great plan, huh? The first 3 weeks were a breeze and I never felt better. I had it all planned out.. Train for some 5k's and get my lungs and legs back in shape for snowboarding. No one told me how terrible shin splints would be though!!
