Tomorrow: The First Day of my new Life!

REAL Training for the 5K starts this week! I'm dreading this run, but I'm excited to start this new journey. WHEN I finish this 5k, I would've taken one step closer to living a healthier lifestyle.  If I want to live to have grandchildren, I need to start now! :-)

Week 3... Chapter 2

The course is definitely starting to pick up as far as content is concerned.  The most interesting information that I've read so far was basically discussing more about helping.  Some of the key things I took from the readings where the question of "nature" vs "nurture".  In addition, I learned more about the Three Stage Model (Hill, 2009).


The Three Stage Model consists of Exploration, Insite, and Action.

First Run

Today was the first day of training... and ... I made it though! lol  I just got these Nike Free Runner shoes and they felt great!  I ran/walked for 15 minutes and my legs definitely feel like Jello :-/  However, I'm a few steps closer to the finish line. :-) Once I figure out how to update my blog via my android, I'll upload pics and stuff.  Stay tuned!

Interventions Class- Weeks 1 & 2

The first two weeks of classes introduced me in to the Interventions class.  The terms "helper" was defined as the person who was giving assistance and the "client" is the person who receives assistance.  Within my field, I definitely see myself as a helper, especially considering I am a graduate advisor for the councils. 


So far, I'm really enjoying this class.  It is definitely sparking my interest in entering the counseling profession.

I'm running...

I've decided to join my friend Monique and run the Rite Aid 5K Marathon on May 14, 2011.  I am not a runner, nor do I enjoy it, however this challenge will be a true test of my faith.  Understanding my health is important, I'm ready to do the "unthinkable".  My training will begin this week and this blog will allow you to join me on my journey!


With your prayers and encouragement, I know I'll make it to the finish line!
