Spring Training

I'm so glad that this past week is over. I have had three midterms and a presentation and have not had time to do much other than study. I want to get out and run or hike or something. This summer my dad and I are going to do a triathlon (a super sprint triathlon) so all of the distances are much shorter than normal triathlons. I've been swimming a lot but still am not too good at longer distances, after 50m I'm ready for a quick breather. I'll have to work on this a lot more, but I like feeling like I have something to train towards rather than just doing some cardio. Hopefully it will go well and I can work my way up to Olympic distance, I don't think I even want to try for the 1/2 Ironman. By the way the picture is courtesy of my cousin, Scott, who just finished a triathlon. I think his team got third? Anyways, any good tips on training and such? My foot has been kind of bothering me so I don't want to run too much. But I think it is only two miles so I think I should be okay on the running.
