Tuesday
Activity: Run
Distance: 4.6 miles
Time: 40m 41s
A little over 8 min 36 sec miles.....could it be? While I was running I was thinking that I should set a goal to run a half with 8 minute miles. Then I laughed to myself. I wonder how long it would take me to train and be ready for a half marathon doing 8 minute miles? Something to work for I guess. Mabye my first goal could be a 10K with 8 min miles?
Tomorrow is my first pool workout with my new work out plan. I know, how long have I been talking about this?
I was able to acquire some allen wrenches so tonight the bike handlebars get lowered. Maybe I'll ride to work tomorrow? I was waiting to see if I got the new job before making any changes to my morning routine but it's been 2 days and I still haven't hear anything so I'm going to write it off as another nice attempt.
About the new job prospect: I promised myself I would not get excited about this but when the first interview went so well on Friday, I couldn't help but get excited. My second inteview yesterday was much less than fun. I met with 3 people. The first, Steve Luvall, Director of Human resources. We talked for literly 5 minutes and he asked me 1 question. Then when it was my turn to ask questions I asked him how he played into the department, his job, his responsibilities. After he gave me a blanket answer I asked him if he liked it and he shrugged and said, well, you know, it's, well, it's fine. I wasn't sure if he was talking about St. Louis or the work he does but I was not impressed. The next person was Loraine, whose job they are filling and she talked like no one in the world will ever be better than her and no one will do a good enough job but "they'll just have to get used to who ever they hire and make adjustments accordingly". Finally was Tom, the VP of HR who didn't even get out of his chair when he was done with me. Said "OK, you can go now". He didn't seem to be impressed with me and he had no idea if they were done interviewing or when they would decided. I left Tom's office and told Loraine that I thought the recruiter needed to see me again to give me some paperwork but Loraine said, no I could leave. Then they watched me walk out!! It was the receptionist when I checked out that asked if anyone had given me a parking token. So....we'll see if they call tomorrow. If not, at least I still have a job and can afford to be a little picky about who and when I decide to interview with.
Off to get a strong back and arms! Hopefully I'll have a swim workout to write about tomorrow.
