I cannot believe I have not been able to update this for the past two weeks! The Man (work) has really turned up the heat. It is really silly how much crap is being forced down to the rank and file. Well, enough about that... Now for the latest news:

I have hired a coach! I have decided that trying to sort thought the volumes of Friel , Fitzgerald and the like to develop a plan is just not my strength, especially when trying to be a top producer at work, keep up our ministry, train for an Ironman and maintain my sanity! I am really excited about the opportunity and direction that I will and am receiving. We met Thursday and have begun the process of developing me into a runner and hopefully Ironman! It is already challenging and motivating me to make some different decisions and lifestyle changes. Coming soon, be sure to look out for Darren v223.21030, which includes the new early morning workout patch/update. It is being tested in Beta at the moment and still having some technical difficulties, but stay tuned for the release... hopefully it will be more successful than the Vista launch.

Anyway, forget about the past few weeks... I will fill in the data when I have time. I have been training in all disciplines, just not with any focus or direction. Today , I find myself a bit grounded with the onset of a severe cold. I really hope to nip it in the bud as I cannot afford to be sick right now. Next week at work will be one of the most demanding as I embark on a week long blitz (not my choice). We'll see how it goes... who knows, it may give me a chance to catch up on the blog data... although, I can honestly say, I would rather be behind on my blog and out on the road then sick on the sofa!
