Business cards and butterflies

Printed fifty business cards this afternoon and suddenly everything feels real.

Like, I have an actual coaching rate sheet and intake forms and people are actually paying me to help them train for races. Three clients signed up this week - two from the running group and one random girl who saw my flyer at the gym.

Spent two hours on the phone today

First client consultation call in progress.

First client consultation call in progress.

walking through training schedules and goal setting with my newest client. She wants to run her first 5K by spring, which is exactly where I started two years ago. There’s something surreal about being on the other side of that conversation now.

Sarah keeps joking that I need to get certified since I’m basically running a real business at this point. Part of me thinks she’s right - maybe it’s time to make this official official. But for now, I’m just trying not to mess up anyone’s training plan and maybe make enough to cover my textbook costs next semester.

Weird how something that started as Carmen and me just wanting to run a 5K turned into… this. Sometimes the best things happen when you’re not even trying.
