My new journey: Running Coach

This is my first post in almost 5 years!   I guess I just got busy with life and so this just wasn't important to me.  Now I am on a new journey and so this blog will now become all about that.  Running.  Well, running and fitness and how it grows and grows.

On January 30/31 2016 I attended the RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) running coach certification class.    It was two long days filled with everything running and coaching others to run.    Yes a running coach is a real thing!!  On Feb. 3rd 2016 I passed the very challenging 100 question exam with a 90%!!   Why did I decide  to pursue this?  Well, many reasons.....

I am often asked by friends, coworkers, people from church and even some strangers how I got started running and even asked if I can teach them how.   I also just want to show others what running can do for them in their own lives.   I decided if I was really going to teach someone how to run their first 5k or train for a half marathon, I wanted to learn more and be official.  Although I know it will be a challenge finding clients, I am ready and willing!  I especially hope to help women like me.  Over 40 and wanting to get fit and run.  It is never to late.    I firmly beleive if you are reasonably healthy you can begin this journey at any age!  I get passed in races by people older than me ALL the time.
So, if you are ready, I would love to help you get started!  If you already run some but want to run your first 10k or half marathon, I can get you to your goal in a fun and healthy way.    Email me: llcorrin@gmail.com.

My running bio;
Began seriously running in 2010.  Since then I have ran countless 5 and 10k races, six or so 15ks and 4 half marathons.   Along the way I have won a couple age group awards but, really I am not fast.  You don't have to be fast to be a runner.  You just have to RUN.

God bless!!
