I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Your new business venture sounds exciting. If you decide to train runners, even from afar, let me know. I have thought of hiring a running coach and who better!! Seriously let me know your rates and services when you get organized around this.<br /><br />Love,<br />MelisaIrish Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151722468428920504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-58064157544041587412011-08-02T20:55:08.877+00:002011-08-02T20:55:08.877+00:00Your new goals and plans sound really exciting!

I confess I was concerned when I read your last blog. <br /><br />You're gonna love the relay. I finished Ragnar Relay yesterday and can't stress how wonderful it was. I advise on being minimalist packing for the race (can advise you if you want on what to take with you, and I guarantee you that you will not miss anything else)...Room is much needed in the vans. Besos, and ENJOY the experience!!!lizzie leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461437927126657873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-56518959509782887262011-07-21T14:17:04.324+00:002011-07-21T14:17:04.324+00:00Hey Petra.

It makes me so happy to know you are back on track. And the personal training sounds perfect for you (even if the boot camps sound a tad scary!)<br /><br />Oh and you may notice my change in identity! I have said goodbye to Sofa and the City and hello to The Reinvention Tour. <br /><br />Karen<br /><br />xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-75518367964867999262011-07-16T23:23:22.669+00:002011-07-16T23:23:22.669+00:00PS- thanks for the add!PS- thanks for the add!pensive pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228801550471279348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-18499315476541947312011-07-16T17:18:27.125+00:002011-07-16T17:18:27.125+00:00good luck with the business plan and great news th...good luck with the business plan and great news that you are running again and able to compete at portland. good luck and safe travelsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-91360667167851068222011-07-15T01:41:03.315+00:002011-07-15T01:41:03.315+00:00Petra!!!

Always love to read a post from you. <br /><br />I am so happy that the doc gave the ok to get back on the road and you are feeling good. Makes me very, very happy! I've thought about you so often in the past month!<br /><br />I have my personal training certification and at one time thought I'd like to work a big corporate gym, but I was wrong - hated it! But I'm glad I have it and I use it with my clients when making plans and am able to incorporate strength training into the weekly plans - I find the experience invaluable and I know you will ROCK being a trainer. You have such a heart of gold and I know you will be emotionally invested in your clients. Can't wait for you to go after that dream!<br /><br />You can definitely come on our relay next year...you could come this year if you wanted to come back to the States in August, we lost a runner and are down one right now. I'm not sure why I signed up other than I thought it'd be a good jump back into the running world - something to strive for, but they are fun and you will have a blast!<br /><br />Big hugs to you, my dear!! <br />xoxoJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34732546.post-87420957096949387712011-07-14T16:55:03.788+00:002011-07-14T16:55:03.788+00:00Petra, this is a brilliant idea!

She works for an integrative medicine center and has her Masters in Exercise Physiology but most personal trainers (in gyms) are 20 years old and don't know much about anything outside of the gym or safety for that matter. You will be a huge success.
