I hope I didnt give the impression that all was ambigious. Cant really put a percentage on how much was and maybe it was just me. I studied for about two months and from reading the posts many of you have studied longer and would thus have a broader knowledge base on which to make decisions. I didnt have some of the resources that some of you had utilized. I only had the manual, practice test that came with it and the data from the weekly ACE coach (which I had them send me all 12 weeks at once so I didnt have to wait). I didnt have the exercise CDs that are spoken of and I didnt pay to do the online practice tests available. So, having said that Im sure you will all do quite well. As for me, I am a 30 veteran police officer and Chief of Police for a small city in northeast, Ohio. And as I said in my initial post, run in all sorts of distance events but predominantly marathons, indoor bike, weight/resistance training, and a fairly extensive backgound in the martial arts. Will look to work with AARP or at some local fitness center in the area on a prt-time basis to see if I might want to consider retirement from community service and do fitness more. Time, will tell.
