Wow I almost forgot I threw myself this little pity party of a thread.

Thanks a lot guys the advice and well wishes mean a lot. Its not all bad though, it just gets super frustrating. Some backround for anyone who cares.

I work for a rather large chain of gyms as a trainer. It can be a great job and a really shitty job. The problem is that this chain of gyms is in love with heart rate based training and endurance events. Not just for runners, but for everyone in the world regardless of goals. I would love to tell them all how retarded they are, but I need a job and this one pays good. So I am in a constant fight to not call them out on their retardation, plus side-step questions and comments about heart rate based training from clients and members, plus I have to toe a fine line between making money and meeting revenue goals with being honest with people and not selling them overpriced and un-necessary products.

The worst part is that I am apparently really good at side stepping because my boss tried to promote me to being in charge of all of our heart rate based training...he couldn't understand why I would turn it down.

I can't complain too much though, I get to train people and thats a blast...I love it and I am starting to really make some good money which is also nice.

Its true...he is a phenominal morning cook. I haven't had a breakfast like it since I left Chicago.

Hey Danny!

I hear you bro...

You and I had some nice chats about that while you were staying with me (seriously though... am I not the best morning cook in the world?).

You are the most talented young trainer I have seen in 12 years... So everyone else who is reading this... HANDS OFF! Danny belongs to me!

Of course I am joking, but you know how I feel about future work together... It will just take some time to get things organized. The wheels are in motion now and I anticipate some very exciting things over the next 12 - 18 months.
Thanks a ton...that kind of compliment means a lot coming from you. I can for sure wait it out, and it sounds pretty awesome, but you let me know and I am in my car on my way to Chicago ASAP.

In the meantime, give me a call... there are some things I want to chat about with you...
Will do sir...any idea the best time to call?

Danny
