Proud Coaching Moment |
I searched all over for a group that would train walkers to do a marathon and finally at The Blue Cross Broad Street Run found Philly Fit. From my first email about walking a marathon to crossing the finish line this group welcomed me as a team mate and friend. On race day we met before during the race (including some moments I really neeeded a friend!) and celebrated together. Now a veteran and coach I can tell you my two favorite moments out of many were the group greeting a very slow participant with such joy and seeing the look in their face as a finisher! This past Philadelphia Marathon I welcomed a fellow walker I had the privilege of coaching with a hug and medal. I see an amazing picture of that joyous moment in an office we both visit.
It may see strange that my best moments are other people crossing the finish line. But when you join Philly Fit you are part of a community of athletes and friends there for you. You will want to be there for them and forget about being alone out there. Roy Attitude of Gratitude Walking Coach Philly Fit
