Time to get my life back! Starting with my fitness.

For the last 2 1/2 months since I started my new job I have been studying for the CISSP exam. (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) 8 hours a day I've been sitting in an office reading a really big book and drinking lots of soda and eating lots of candy. Well that part finally paid off, I passed my test yesterday ( a 6 hour long 250 question test) but my fitness has really paid the price. I'm fat, I'm slow, and it hurts when I get my heartrate too high :0. Well not for long, this mornings run was great, instead of running really slow listening to audio books I ran fast and listened to really load music.

Goal is to get back to a reasonable weight and fitness level by Christmas and then start thinking about a 2014 marathon.

P.S. Fast is relative!!!

Isn't this about the time of year Santa starts working out?

What is your new job?

I'd like to see Santa's biological passport data. Does he even get tested?

I'm working at IMC - research coordinator for their transplant team. Been here about a month now.

Wow, that sounds fancy! (research coordinator for the transplant team),

So does (biological passport data).

Its pretty fancy. I have a desk with a computer and a nametag with my picture on it. They even gave me a stapler, tape, pens, and two colors of highlighters.

Wow, we have the same job.
