my half marathon clinic at the running room

I am coaching the half marathon walking clinic at the Running Room on Bloor St W (High Park) here in Toronto.

To be honest I was excited to coach and then about two weeks before the clinic began I was nervous and felt very insecure about coaching. Funny how the insecurities sneak up on you when you least expect it isn't it? The good news is that I finally stopped listening to that little voice in my head that was feeding me the insecurities and moved full speed a head into the clinic!

My personal goals for the clinic are:
1) Walk in the Ottawa Half Marathon at the end of May
2) Lose 20 Pounds
3) Feel fit and trim with increased energy
4) Have all the members of my clinic reach their goals and celebrate their success with each of them.

Week one is now coming to an end. It has been exciting and energizing to plan the clinic and walk with everyone. I have already seen and improvement in my energy level and have enjoyed the last 2 walks with the run/walk club(every wed and sun you can go to the store and walk/run with groups).

So far I feel that it is fair to say that coaching the half marathon walking clinic was the perfect thing to do.....
