before i got the part, i was told i needed to be in shape for the shower scene i wasn't. so i tried my luck & got a trainer. i thought i had 8 weeks of prep but w/scheduling i had 5 weeks. luckily my trainer trained me 3 times a week & did cardio 4 times a week. i ate meals planned by my trainer & keepin' my nutrition on track. outside the gym, i did yoga 4 to 5 times a week. a crazy 5 weeks but i'm grateful to everyone who helped to make it happened!

when i'm not doin' yoga, i have found a new love of running. the fact that i have to train towards something is motivation to give running a try. something that i have always wanted to do but never had the chance or maybe the reason to do. when i was approached to do this event, i thought, what a great opportunity & a challenge for me. here i am a non-runner & i'm goin' to do a triathlon, well a part of it anyway. i'm excited to try a new approach to my training. i'd done the mostly the cross...
