I received my training schedule from my personal training coach, Emily C, and I am very excited to begin training for the New York City Marathon. Not that I have not been running, the training I did for my last marathon was not too good - did it without much focus which resulted to a not-so-good finish. I have decided to train properly this time and any upcoming events I sign up for - this way I will at least have respectable finishes and I can honestly tell myself that I gave it my all. I want to be strong and fast! Having a personal coach will make me accountable to someone and will indeed be a great motivation.
I have signed up again to be a mentor with Team in Training for the Winter 2011 Season. Its been a year since I began my journey with Team in Training and I must say - so far, its been an incredible ride. I have met a lot people, some have become my friends. There's been a lot of awe-inspiring stories - it is so amazing what the human spirit can achieve! I am glad to be part of this great group of people that continues to help with a great cause. I can only hope that whatever little contribution I make would have an impact even to just one person. The Team has changed my life. I have changed a negative event into a positive, and have become a stronger person, emotionally. Physically, I'll get there soon enough!
Soon I will be a grandma again and I can only hope for the best this time around.
