I haven't posted in a week for a couple of reasons. Last week I had training camp for my new job, that requires us to be first aid, CPR, aed, and cert certified, so they took us to a camp and trained us for three days. It was like summer camp, only full of adults. I got to do a little bit of trail hiking while there, but no running.
Saturday I reached a new distance milestone, 4 miles! It was such a great feeling of accomplishment. I know I can do this. It is going to happen. I've noticed it also helps to tell people about what I'm doing, even people I don't really know. It helps keep me focused on my journey ahead, and gives me a network of people for support. You never know who has good advice to give either.
So, new job started today. I'll be teaching a small group of at-risk teens. So far it looks like I'll be teaching History and/or English. I'm hoping I can include some music with these subjects. Maybe start with American poetry and jazz, including some American history and politics in that. We'll see where this goes.
