As most of you know, my last few runs have been "eh" I'm not really sure what is it, but they just haven't been great. I'd take a walking break when I feel like it, maybe I just haven't given my runs my all. I actually thought about going on a few electronic free outings to see if I could just get out of my rut as of late. Since I haven't been able to do that second one mile run in W6D2 I thought I'd just head out and see what I could do. I did run yesterday, so I wasn't expecting a whole lot today in my run.
I might have mentioned it before, but when I run, I can't pass my house without being finished. I need to run loops, I don't like running the same road multiple times, and I can't pass my house and do a repeat of the run I just did. I know it's all in my head, but I just can't. I've also mentioned that because my house is on a lake, we're up on a hill, and I won't run up that hill, it's a HUGE hill. So my running trails have been pretty limited. Today though, I branched out and ran on the Main Road. I ran down the hill, to the Main Road and kept going. It was something new and it was wonderful.
I wasn't sure if I was going to try to repeat W6D2, or what I wanted to do. If I was going to move onto the next day, it's a 2.25 mile run. Straight. No walking breaks. I wasn't so sure if I wanted to do that, so I kept an open mind. Well once I did my warm up walk, and starting running, it took me awhile to get into my groove, but I was doing pretty well. Then, once I started back up the hill, my phone rings. It's the guy who was coming to fix the chipped windshield in my car. I had to answer it. This was enough time for me to walk, albeit very slowly, up the hill. Once I made it up the hill, I picked up my run again, checked my GPS and saw that I walked about .11 - no big deal. I took one short walking break and ran until I did a whole 2.25 mile run! And I'm psyched about it! It was seriously just what I needed to boost my confidence about running and convince me that I CAN do this!
On the job front, Mr. Skinny's grandma's financial advisor offered me a job! It's part time though, only 15 hours/week. I STILL haven't heard from Wells Fargo. I called the store I interviewed at and she said she couldn't tell me anything, I had to wait until I talked to HR. What. A. PAIN! I just want to know if I should hold out for this full-time job, or if I should just take the part-time job. I will say though, if I take this part-time job, then it's going to be for a while. He doesn't want to waste his time training someone if they're going to ditch him for a full time job in a few months time, which I completely understand. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Awesome. I think I might call the store again and demand that I talk to someone. I just need to know if I have the job or not. Why is this so confusing?!
We'll all get it figured out.

When was the last time you got that extra boost you needed?
Do you have any advice for me?
You are in a difficult position aren't you? I think I would call back and ask to speak to someone. Other than that- can you risk losing the part time job? I don't know- it is so frustrating job hunting and waiting on others to decide our fate. I don't have any good advice. The last time I got the a boost was yesterday. I have been off my feet since Feb from surgery and injury and I am now allowed back on my road bike. I was really scared about my abilities. I did really well and was able to keep up with my husband. It helped my confidence ALOT!!! Great job on your run! I know how good you must have felt about yourself!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the run!
ReplyDeleteI hope the job stuff gets cleared up soon!
