Life’s all about cycles. Old things end, and new things come in to take their place. For me, today marked the end of another cycle of coaching. For 17 weeks I guided a group of about 30 individuals through a training regimen that would prepare them to run a half marathon. Most of them ran their event this past Sunday. As you know I ran it as well, but really the important reason I was there was to support my group. Everyone ran a good race despite the weather and gross conditions. This evening was our final celebratory get together. Everyone had stories of how their races went. There were as many moments of struggle as there were moments of triumph. Most of all, there was a pervasive sense of pride and accomplishment tying everyone together. I personally took the night as a chance to overindulge in food. I wasn’t really planning on going that far overboard, but I just have poor sense when it comes to picking something healthy off a menu. I ended up eating 3200+ calories in that one meal, which really amounts to 1.5 days of eating. Ah, but on such an occasion that’s kind of forgivable.
So yes, that’s another notch on the belt. I did my best and everyone recognized it. It’s all I can ask for. I can rest easy knowing that people achieved their goals under my watch. Damn it, it feels good.
