Monday - THE 'Phone Call

.....the phone call that I have been waiting for came today ....

.....I Got The Alder Hey Job.....

.....and you Guys already know how much I wanted it.
A well timed question from the person who knows me best and is my closest friend, then made me take a step back and consider what my motivation was for wanting this position over all of the others.

And it was actually very simple..
When I was introduced to the concept of working there - it was almost like a full-circle thing.. I wanted to do my ENB 415 there some 6 years ago - but circumstances meant that I went to London instead..

Sometimes when you enter a place you just get a 'feel' for whether or not it will suit you and you will suit it.. and it felt right from the outset.. Having worked in a post for the last couple of years that never quite sat well with me, I was not going to do that to myself again - I would only make the move if it was the right thing to do.

That is why I have travelled around so much and compared three different places and spent days dissecting the pro's and con's of all of the positions: where they are; what they offer; what I can offer; the specialities that are specific to each place; the structure of the work; and the working practices..... and many many more issues.

And I kept on coming back to this one....
because I know, as much as you can from a brief glimpse and window into a world, that I will flourish there, and they will get the best from me.

And so in about a month I'm going to be moving forward in this adventure that is my life.... actually, I guess that the moving is already happening... and I fell really calm and quiet about it now - which for me is a Really Good Thing..!

21:30 - And I went running too.....!

What:- 7.4 Miles
Time:- 61:38
Pace:- 8:19
AvHR:-164 (79%MHR)

Mile	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	0.4	Run
Pace	8:36	8:31	8:33	8:23	8:36	8:14	7:54	8:21	8:19
AvHR	157	161	165	167	165	167	162	171	164

This was a nice gentle run with a few hilly bits - a bit of light rain to keep me cool. And no niggles to be felt anywhere.

Quiet enjoyed that...!!
