Call Me Coach

Our store will be part of a "Couch to 5K" program New Balance will be sponsoring, Tonight I was asked if I would like to be a coach in the program. Of course I said yes!!! What a great opportunity this is for me. I really love the idea of helping people become more fit as they go from walking to running a 5K, or even no activity to running a 5K.

One of my joys at the store is talking to people about becoming more fit, and just getting out there and moving. A marathon is not required. I love it when these people come back and talk to me about how much they enjoy their running. Now I will get to go step by step with these folsk as they get mroe into the sport.

I am SO excited!!!!!!

Charlie, you are going to be a great coach. You believe in people and you are an example of what it means to get healthy when you weren't a natural athlete as a 20-something.

Those are the best kind of coaches. They are patient and they have "been there".
