Alysia, I'm soooo interested in how it will go for you with a personal trainer. I have often wondered just what that relationship would be like.
You, as a distance runner, are used to long exercise sessions with just your thoughts, or music if you choose to take it with you. I have also been a solitary exerciser for much of my life, and have wondered if I'd like -- or come to dislike -- having a personal trainer participating in my exercise sessions.
Were there many trainers to choose from? How did you happen to come upon one so well suited to what you want to do? And do they have specific levels of credentials so you know you're in good hands?
I belong to a gym as well, but so far the personal trainers I've seen seem to be working with people on weights more than anything else. They tend to walk around the room with them, adjust the weights and record progress in a notebook. But it's quite possible there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that I don't know about.
I'll be reading your updates!! No detail is uninteresting, LOL!
