As well as my professional upgrading this summer, I've decided to take on 2 specific physical challenges and programs for the next few months.

I'm going the C25K challenge and the 100 pushup challenge.

These 2 programs progressively take the participant to the ability to run 5 K now stop and do 100 push-ups non stop. The programs each are 8 weeks long and move forward in a slow progression so as not to discourage or injure the participant.

I realize that for many people these are not very difficult goals. I however would struggle to do either one today... so I consider them to be noble and reasonable goals. When I complete them, I'll no doubt come up with something even more challenging.

Hey folks.

Batman here.

I'm keeping this blog for my own purposes... but there's are no great secrets, so I'll put it up in a blog on the off chance that someone else wants to have a look.

I've had an active summer as I'm in a career transition.

For many years I've been involved in sales management in the technology sector. I've built sales teams throughout North America and have been involved in selling software and services for over 20 years.

Many of my past employers have also sold extensive services and I've managed some of the projects as well as the people working on those projects.

This year, I've decided to formalize my project management experience. Initially I obtained the CAPM designation from the Project Management Institute.

Subsequently I've decided to work towards my Project Management Professional designation from PMI as well. The PMP is the worldwide industry standard for Project Management. I'm very enthusiastically pursuing this designation and expect to have it successfully wrapped up by Sept. 08. Right now, I waiting for approval of my experience documentation in and audit from PMI. I've done a great deal of my studying already but following approval, I'll schedule the exam and continue my studies until that time.
