A very special training client and friend

The last two weeks have been very hard for me to comprehend, that one of my very dear friends and clients will be moving away.  In the past year in a half I have been training Jessica 3 days a week and for the past 8 months we have also been running together 2 mornings a week.  This amazing women has lost 66 lbs, over 17% body fat and over 38 inches all over.  I remember when I very first started training Jess and I was having her do some intervals on the treadmill, walking for 1 minute and jogging for 1 minute.  She looked at me and said "Jessica, I don't jog nor do I run and I don't ever plan on doing either!"  My response was "Haha...I hear this all the time.  You are only jogging at a pace that is comfortable for you and I will watch you very closely.  You can do this!"  To her surprise, she did it and didn't think or at least express it being so bad as she originally thought.  Jess and I ran our first half marathon together in May of 2010 and ran across the finish line together.  As I wiped tears from my face, I could only remember the Jess that first signed up for personal training and told me she would never, nor ever planned on running.  I was so incredibly proud of her and she never seems to amaze me still to this day with the accomplishments she has overcome.  She is truly an amazing individual and a wonderful friend.  Funny thing is with my job is I really get to know each one of my clients pretty well.  When you are working with someone for an hour, 3 days a week, you find out quite a bit about someone.  I had the pleasure to work with Jess for the past year in a half and in that time we became very good friends.  I consider Jess, one of my very dear friends and am honored to have got to train her for so long and help her make life transforming changes in her life.  She is now at her goal weight and holding strong!  She looks amazing and just has a beautiful glow to her.  I am very excited for her new adventure but am so sad to lose her.  She is leaving for out of the country for 3 months and then will be back only for a brief period of time before she moves out of town.  This is one truly amazing friend and client and I am so very proud of her!
