Today, I completed 16 miles with the team. It felt great. There were a few times when I wanted to stop running, but I knew I had it in me. Amy made it to 13 miles, but the pain in her knee that she mentioned on mile 8 became too much so she had to stop running. I was able to finish with Lisa's husband Chris. He's really fast. I was able to stay with him though. The trail and road coarse was beautiful. Again, I saw parts of Germantown that I have never seen before.
As I was running, I began to get a little sad. There are only six weeks until the big race and then there will be no more training. I don't want this to end. I know that it doesn't have to end. I will join a running group or continue to train on my own. The race date is just coming a little fast.
I saw a sign outside of the YMCA in Whitehaven. They are in need of a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. Even though, I have almost completed my Fitness Nutrition Certification. I haven't even started my Personal Training Course. I must get on the ball. I looked at the AFAA website again. I noticed that they will be having a couple of courses in April and a few in May that will allow me to obtain the certifications that I need to help others achieve their goals of a healthy life.
Well, congratulations to me for completing 16 miles.
Congratulations from me, too! That's amazing! I'm in awe :)
