Good Luck David!

Our blog normally contains posts about our business, technology and certification information. This post is going to be a little different…

We wanted to use this forum to encourage everyone to wish one of our own good luck this weekend.

Train Signal’s David Davis has been hard at work training for the Dallas Marathon (officially titled the MetroPCS Dallas White Rock Marathon Presented by Nexbank).

To those of us up at Train Signal headquarters in suburban Chicago, the idea of doing anything outside right now sounds crazy. Luckily David is based in Dallas and does not have to contend with the elements as much.

The fact that this marathon falls smack dab in the middle of holiday season further demonstrates the determination and commitment put forth by David. Most of us have been stuffing ourselves with holiday goodness while David has been getting up early to squeeze in his runs and has continued recording the best VMware training on the planet.

Running a marathon is certainly a physical test which requires months (if not years) of preparation. We know that this Sunday represents the culmination of tons and tons of hard work on David’s part. We’re incredibly proud of him and wish him the best in the race.

If you’re a friend, colleague, customer or anyone — please leave a comment below for David. Despite our confidence in his ability to finish the marathon, I’m sure he could use the support!

Good luck David!

David,

If you run like you teach VMWare you will be fine. I too am a runner. I just completed my first marathon in Niagara Falls on October 25th.

If I could give you any advice; hydrate well, pace yourself and don’t stop moving after mile 21.

Good luck.
