Guess what? I'm a Personal Trainer now!

Yes, I got certified. I'm doing this the right way. I got certified through NASM in June, 2014. (Side note: It has been too long since I last blogged.) Now that I've moved to Seattle, Washington I am working at a local gym here. (Yay!)

Let's fill you in on some things that have happened to me since my Triathlon...
* I ran my first half marathon. The Rock'n'Roll Half Marathon in Las Vegas!

I earned that sweet medal!

* I ran another half marathon.... The Tinkerbell Half Marathon in Disneyland!

* Completed the ISSA Sports Nutrition certification. I'm not just playing around anymore. (TeeHee)

* We moved to Seattle! 

* I tried some new workouts

I tried aerial yoga at Knotty Yoga in Redmond, WA.

* I fell in love with Barre workouts...

Oh Barre... How I love thee...

* Got certified in Person Training

Somewhere between my last half marathon event and my aerial yoga adventure I developed a bad case of runner's knee. I went to Physical therapy to treat it and prevent future occurrences. I learned what I could but ultimately stopped going because guess what? It is expensive. However, with my fancy-shmancy PT certification I now know a LOT more about treating cases like mine through functional training. Barre training has come in real handy for this. There is zero impact during the workouts AND I do many of the same strengthening (and stabilizing) exercises that the Physical Therapist recommended to me. Guess what? I am slowly building back my mileage. Progress is progress and I am happy for it.
Welp, there are the major events that have happened since I last blogged. It's been a roller coaster! I am glad my path led me here. Here, being my current status in life. I am feeling pretty positive about my life. Though Here could have also referred to Seattle, because Seattle is pretty darn cool.
