Apparently I’m doing this…finally….

I’m taking a course, actually two courses….one to become a certified running coach…I figure why not, I run, I coach, so makes sense…it’s through the North American for Sport Fitness Professionals, and should take a number of weeks…I’ll learn stuff, and yeah, I can say I’m certified, so good to me…

I’m also still working my way to get my Alberta Fitness Leadership Certification….not sure if I really want that, I’d be able to become a spin class instructor, which, I guess cool, but I guess why not…

2022 was about learning stuff, trying new things, trying to become a better me, so, why not continue….just getting my First Aid certificate, learning CPR, taking on 3 Run Clubs….instructing virtual clinic after clinic…it’s been interesting and good…so yep, retired, but still active and learning, I guess that’s good…

I guess I’m still working on me becoming me….redefining myself….and well, life still has challenges…two autistic children that seem to need more and more of me….but I can keep bringing them along with me on this fitness journey…..a dad that’s in hospital fighting a heart infection, so that takes a lot of my time and life…….so busy and confusing and congested? times…..but I guess it is what it is, that’s life…

I love that picture…..seriously the most fun I had last year…along with the run at the BMO Vancouver….positive stuff, fun stuff…my year of fun

and yeah, there was that 10K here in Edmonton…that was fun and positive too…so lots of positives

I’m in there somewhere….so, we’re about 57 days into 2023…..one race on January 1st….another next Sunday…maybe I’ll make this another year of learning and sharing..and collecting bibs?

I’m rethinking one of my Run Clubs…….my Sturgeon Valley Athletic Club rn group has made a change…I guess because I’m not certified? I’m now just a co-leader, a group leader or an optional extra to two who are kind of taking over…and seriously, a lot of our group are quicker than I am, so I can lead those that want to go slower with me…I think our goals are the same, so it’ll be fine, I just have to wrap my head around the changes…I still have a free gym membership out of the deal, so all good…just a change….

So, a Saturday morning, committing, working on a schedule….study, running, and being a father..so all good….time to go visit the dad at the hospital…
