Staying Active and Having Fun
Here are some pics from my triathlon a few weeks ago and my wife’s 5K last weekend: The swim. Did just under 1 mile in Utah Lake — it was a little bit chilly.

Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), one of the stars of the HP movies, seems to have a good outlook on staying healthy and active: “There is so much pressure [...]Back on Track
I’ve been struggling to find consistency since my triathlon a few weeks ago. I’ve gone on a few runs here and there but I need to get back on track and be more disciplined. Today I’m creating my workout plans and getting them on paper. No more excuses. Just thought you should know so you can [...]Social Media and Motivation
Yesterday I didn’t want to go running. There was no reason, I was just feeling lazy. Then I saw someone tweet about how good they felt about their workout that day. That simple, 140-character message changed my whole mindset and later I went for a 6 mile run. I felt great after and was glad I [...]The Fight for Fitness | Blake Hagen's Discussions

You Gotta Want It
Creating healthy habits can be hard. In order to change our bad habits to good habits, we have to want to. We have to have the willpower and determination to do it.
Of course it is hard at first. But with time it gets easier and easier to stick with the healthy changes.

Liz Rosenbaum said… - Hey Blake - I live in Spanish Fork and have been wanting to do a triathlon for a long time. I peeked at your website and thought it looked great...I need to explore around it a little bit more and see if you mention any training groups for triathlons, since I don't know of any. Such a small world - my hubby is going to byu right now. :)
