Yesssss!!! I now be a PMP Matey!

(It's Talk Like a Pirate Day in case you hadn't heard.)

As I posted earlier today, it was a big day for me. I met my sports medicine specialist this morning and had my 4 hour Project Management Professional examination this afternoon.

Good news on both fronts.

The doctor said the knee was a classic case of Runner's Knee. Basically I'll be visiting the physio at his office 3 or 4 times and they'll do some work on it as well as show me some strengthening exercies that are required to deal with Runner's Knee.

He also said to go out and run if I feel like it. I shouldn't harm anything as long as I can cope with the pain that probably will occur until the strenghtening exercises do their stuff.

So'll I think I'll try to resume W7 of C25K on Saturday! Haarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

On the PMP front, I've worked on this for a number of months. It's probably been about 400 hours of study.

The exam was 4 hours long. For me, just sitting still for 4 hours is a challenge on it's own.

Anyway, I am very happy to say I passed it. I felt pretty confident going in and throughout it seemed like I was doing OK. At the end you don't get a mark, simply a pass or fail so I can't really tell how well I did.

That's it for now matey!

Have a great running weekend everyone.

Cheers

Batman, PMP

Harrrrrrrrr!

It's a Big Day!
I've been working for about 6 months on attaining Project Management Professional certification.
I'd probably put it down to about 400 hours of study time.

Anyway, today, I take the final exam. If all goes well, (fingers crossed) following a 4 hour exam I'll have completed the certification and officially be a Project Management Professional.

On the running front, before this afternoon's exam, I meet with a doctor at a local sports medicine clinic. The knee is still pretty sore and I haven't run in a week.

I'm really not sure what to expect, but I'm hoping the prescription is simply some exercises and stretching.... but, as I said, I'm not sure what comes out of this.

Taking another Down Day

I'm letting the knee settle down a bit more.

My visit with the sports doctor is next Friday, but if things feel good I hope to hit the road again tomorrow.
