A running friend of mine pointed this out, and I never really reflected on it until now. She said that ever since I started coaching various running clinics, it’s as if I never really stopped. See, whenever I’m out there running with people from RR, I’m still out there doling out advice and keeping an eye on the people around me. It’s not uncommon for me to remind people to watch their breathing, or to slow down or speed up as necessary. It seems like I’m not really able to turn that coaching switch off. Really, I should. This marathon clinic is the first time in a long time that I’m not coaching or group-leading. I should be a little more selfish, right? Well, I suppose besides my own success I can’t help but feel like I want to help other people achieve their own success as well. Definitely not a bad thing. I need to just be mindful though not to get too occupied with other people such that I lose sight of my own goals. I have to do it right.
