On this, the eve of my 41st birthday I woke up very early to prepare for an 8 mile run in preparation for my second marathon. Last year I remember looking at the marathon running schedule and debating on squeezing one in before I turned 40. The debate didn't last long once I seen how many miles it takes to train for this type of event.
After my shower and coffee with the most important man in my life, I logged into my NASM account so I could continue studying for my Corrective Exercise Certification. I am very involved and excited (more than I would have been two years ago upon graduation) about this type of information. I am thrilled to have extended knowledge of what makes the body work more efficiently.
Last year I had a huge birthday party, and it was fun, but a lot of work. I will never do that again. The next big thing I want to plan is a graduation party, weather it's for the 8th grade, or the 12th grade.
As a personal trainer I am really coming along, learning so much! There really is something to be said for experience, and the older I get, the more I realize that. Some times I have to step outside of my situation to be able to see progress.
I was telling Kurt today that people in the gym now recognize me enough to ask me questions, or for advice.
This birthday is a lot lower key. I have found an excitement for riding my bicycle. When we went camping this year Kurt and I rode into Trinity Center from the camp ground and it was so great! Maybe it's because when I run it's usually to train and not for leisure, but I love the freedom of a leisurely bike ride.
I just decided that after this marathon, I will run for leisure way more! It is possible to run for distance and make it fun.
I crossed over this year into enjoying running way more than before. I always had an admiration for it, but it is more enjoyable now and easier. Also I have been running with a friend which has made a huge difference. I am so glad God brought her into my life because she has encouraged me to do things I would otherwise not even try.
So, I guess that is it for now.
