Afternoon run. The joys of being out of work - I can run anytime I want (which is actually throwing me off as I like being tied in to a schedule. Felt good after mile 1 (during which I got a call from a hiring manager telling me I made the final interview next week) so I started going faster and then kept it up and went faster until I was done with fast and hard breathing. Even my last mile, which I meant to be a recovery mile, had me dialing in to an 8:20 pace, which seems to be my new comfortable pace.

AP: 8:15, miles: 10:05 (walked during phone call), 7:55, 7:33, 7:03, 8:36

Nice run � Out of Work? What did you do and what are you looking for?

Hey Preston! My work went a different direction the past year or so, and with a restructure I was laid off the first part of September, with a generous separation agreement that gives me plenty of time to find something else. I'm in the Learning & Development/Training space, and I've had quite a few hits. We've decided to stay in Billings instead of chasing a job somewhere around the country, so I'm in the process of interviewing locally, plus exploring options to work remotely from home. It's an exciting journey! I really haven't had to look for work since graduating from college, so this is a new experience and while a bit disconcerting, it's also fun to figure out what I want to do the next 20 years of my life. :)
