I Turned 1!

I can't believe that I turned 1 as a trainer last week.  It is absolutely amazing how time flies when you don't have to go to work.  This has been by far the best year of my life.  (Well, the second best year.  The best year happened to be the year I married my best friend.)  Over the last year I've been able to: teach, motivate, push, empower, listen to, coach, piss-off (only while pushing weight plates across the gym floor) and ((high five)) so many fantastic people.

I would like to first thank all the individuals who I've been fortunate enough to work

with over the last three hundred sixty-five....

Angie V (1st Client and still kicking ass together), Amelia M, Angelina M, Courtney B, Molly C, Keri A, Jamie L, Stephanie P, Kim P, Rebecca P, Dave V, Mark W, Michelle E, Sonya W, Dalal E, Paula A, Vivian G, Jacqueline E, Nichole L, Patton W, Ryha K, Spencer G, Scott S, Susan S, Kelli B, David H, Sarah H, Bob F, John H, Wanda H, Robert C, Bill B, Richard R, Don D, Lauren B, Rebecca S, Alyson S, 

Maggie W, Beth H, Steve G, Josh L, Doug R, Sue S and I'm so sorry if I forgot someone.  

I would also like to thank all of you who have followed and supported me on facebook!!

As I begin looking forward to year number two, I can't help but be excited.  I've set a personal goal of running the "Rock the Parkway 1/2 Marathon" in April.  I have also let myself get talked into the "Miami Man 1/2 Iron Triathlon" in November (depending on how my knee handles my 1/2 marathon).  A couple goals for my blog:  I will write 14 new posts (this one doesn't count), I will grow to 75 followers (People that actually hit the follow button on my blog.  So please, if you haven't already, follow my blog.  I would also love if you shared all the posts you enjoy.), and I will hit 15,000 page views (I got 4,400 in year one.  I can get 10,600 in year two; right?).

I've also set one goal for my training: I will be a better trainer in twenty-thirteen than I was in twenty-twelve!

Again, I want to say "Thank you" to everyone who allowed me to be a part of their lives this past year.  It has been fantastic having you be a part of my life as I "work toward something greater."  -jason b.
