Expert  4923    Middle River, Maryland Silver member |  Subject: RE: Dream Chaser's 'Set a Goal and Capture it!' Mentor Group - CLOSEDDream Chaser - 2011-04-01 8:38 AM Hey guys, BIG NEWS: The company I am working for is making some big changes and revamping and I have to go to Brazil for 6 months. I'll be setting up a Logisitics Warehouse and Test Facility and it's going to be around-the-clock work for me starting this Thursday when I leave, and I won't be back until approximately late-October, early-November. Definitely before the Holidays. Unfortunately I will not have access to internet for the first few weeks, nor will I have time for anything but work. However, they are paying me a nice bonus to do this and I just couldn't turn down such an opportunity. So triathlon will have to wait until next year, and I look forward to logging back in this Autumn and seeing that everyone achieved there goals and trained consistently throughout the year. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! I'll miss everyone and I hope you all understand. Holy Cow, Bobby, that is BIG NEWS! We will certainly miss you and we'll try to make the group work as best we can! Brazil...wow! Do you get to take the family with you? Edited by jmhpsu93 2011-04-01 7:57 AM |

Brazil...wow! Do you get to take the family with you? They are giving me a montly residence allowance of $5,000 which would cover a a home big enough, plus cover a private school tuition; but we decided since it's only temporary, we won't pull the kids out of school. Plus, I would never be home anyway because we are setting up a hi-tech warehouse and test facility in 6 months that would normally take 2.5 years; so I am going to be working close to round the clock. So I won't have any time to train, or be on the internet. |

| Subject: RE: Dream Chaser's 'Set a Goal and Capture it!' Mentor Group - CLOSED When I was leaving the pool today, I stuck my head into the office and said to the girl and head lifeguard with a straight face, "Someone is projectile vomiting all over the pool deck!" They were like OMG and the lifeguard was about to bolt to the pool. And I said "April Fools" and smiled. They cracked up laughing. Good times |

Master 1531 TORONTO | Subject: RE: Dream Chaser's 'Set a Goal and Capture it!' Mentor Group - CLOSED You're a nut! I was sucked in... Well a sad move for us but sounds like an amazing opportunity for you!! Hopefully your family can join you after the school year is over. My hubby recently did something similar albeit shorter term and like you - he did the longer hours. He really missed having us around and said he'd only do it again if there were regular flights home every 2 weeks and/or we'd be there with him. The latter sounded good All the best! Maybe you should get in to some extreme sports while you are there!! ETA: Okay wait - what part was the April Fools joke? The replacement mentor (which I was hooked til I scrolled down) or the whole Brazil thing? *CLEARLY* I trust too easily... Edited by kimmax 2011-04-01 2:03 PM |

Extreme Veteran 592 Long Island | Subject: RE: Dream Chaser's 'Set a Goal and Capture it!' Mentor Group - CLOSED Ok, so March wasn't all that balanced, well actually, as Marcia pointed out, REAL balanced with the Bike and the Run but i don't think a 1:1 ratio is what I should be striving for.
So, the goals for April will be to get the bike and swim more in line:

My company could call me tomorrow and say, "Hey, Mike, you're moving to Atlanta (yuck!)...Northern New Jersey (really yuck!), or Japan (!!!...would've been pretty cool until about three weeks ago)." Glad you're staying around, pardner...gotta run vicariously through you! |

I've found when I set a monthly goal, it's often best to get a good start. Nothing ensures a better finish and builds confidence like a good start... and getting started is more than half the battle. Yup! I'm avoiding that 'slough of despond' |
