Part Time Personal Trainer

[marathonman2]

I'm graduating from college soon and already have a non-health related job setup for me when I graduate. While the job is 40hrs/wk and the pay is solid, I'd enjoy doing some training for people in the evenings and on weekends. On the one hand I'm interested because it's a little side money, but at the same time, it's something I would enjoy.

I have ran several marathons and consider myself in shape (6', 173lbs, bf% ~ 6), however I lack formal training, therefore. Is it possible for me -- someone not majoring in exercise science -- to do some personal training for a few people on the side?
