Just call me “coach”!

November 24, 2010 by MCM Mama 40 Comments

I passed my RRCA coaching certification test!  Woohoo!  Now I just need to finish my first aid class in early December and I’m officially a certified coach.

I’m really glad that piece of stress is off my plate.  I could have taken it last week and gotten the required 80%, but I’m a little bit OCD when it comes to school and I wanted to get all the answers right.  I finally just had to make myself take the test and just be happy with whatever score I got as long as it was over 80.  I’m thrilled I passed, but I have to admit it’s driving me crazy to not know which ones I got wrong.  (Why, yes, there is a reason I’m not in school anymore.  Perfectionist, anyone?)

Next up?  Hopefully a class on working with pre and post natal clients and then I’ll start working on my personal trainer certification.  Maybe at some point I’ll actually do something with all that learnin’.  ;o)

Tuesday was an easy run day, but my kids tag teamed me.  Jones couldn’t go to school until close to noon because of the strep.  Shoo had a Thanksgiving feast at noon and then would be coming home with me.  Since I’m not strong enough to push a 3rd grader in a running stroller, I did my 3 miles on the treadmill.  I was particularly saddened by the fact that it was in the 60s and I was stuck inside.  On the good side though, I wore a new pair of shoes and a niggling ache I’ve been having in my ankle did not appear today.  Hmmm…

    Congratulations!! That must feel good to have it done going in to the holidays :-)Who are you going through for the personal training?I went through NASM and they only tell you your score if you don't pass. If you pass, all you know is that you did better than 70%…grrrr.

Coffee with a side of rain

Coffee with a side of rain

Apparently I only write coffee posts when I’m in Michigan. I guess my body is hard wired to wake up early, but the college kid has no interest in an early wakeup call. I’d run, but it’s raining and I did not bring the right running clothes, so here I sit. I’m joining Deb and […]
