Video Podcast - 5KPM For Road Racing

Well, that was a fun. Andy Kaufman, PMP, of The People And Projects Podcast just released a short video that had me doing the intro and the outro.

Andy arranged this about a month ago, and I wrote about it during a post in April. It was a happy surprise to see the episode in my podcast feed. In future episodes I'm certain he'll use my auto intro and outro. It's in these voice-only narrations that I was able to mention this blog.

Certificate In Project Management - 5KPM - Project Management For Road Running

If I've learned one thing from running, (and I've learned loads,) it's that by putting one foot in front of the other the journey, the workout, or the race, will get done. Those initial steps can be difficult at times. In fact, those first steps can seem harder than walking it in to a tough marathon finish.

But by taking those steps, the workout, or race, or journey is completed. Eight weeks ago my formal Project Management training class began. Today I have the certificate of completion for my 36 hours. The journey continues. Boot camp starts next week. In many ways, the easy part is complete. The study and the certification exam come next and are higher hurdles and longer distances.

But I've often heard it said that they only workout one regrets is the one not started. That may seem trite, but it's also where my outlook is right now. I'm doing these workouts in PM, just like in running, and heading for good health or a race. I'm going to put that one foot in front of the other and study to pass that certification class. Every event finish (I'm so slow, kinda don't even like to call them races) has a great degree of satisfaction. This event, this PM study and certification, once successfully completed, will be a measure of me taking control of my future and another milepost along a continuing workout where I've put that one step in front of the other.
