Back in the ranks of the unemployed. Long story, but Cliff's Notes version: I deserved it this time. Which didn't make it any less traumatic. Have a few early leads on something new already, which is nice, and something that wasn't the case last time I went through this in '04. And I have five weeks' pay to cushion me.
Anyway, I came down to Bryant to decompress at the folks'. Didn't run Friday, didn't run Saturday, decided to get in a slow 5 tonight. It was still 85 degrees at 8 p.m. when I started, and the humidity wasn't much below that. So I roasted. Doesn't take much to remind me how much I hate running in hot weather. I'm fully reminded now. |

Home now and out on the Wagon Wheel/40th St loop for a HTFU run. Moderate pace, but high temps and high humidity. Wound up with 9:09 average; pushed harder after I got on to 40th. Went pretty well, even running on an unlit road with no sidewalk and no shoulder. Only had a couple of minor scares with traffic. I figured that road would have very little traffic and that was just about right. Then the cat claws the crap out of my wrist while I'm typing this. That's what kind of month this has been...
Tomorrow, have to make myself start applying for jobs and doing other similar stuff. Wish I had enough money to retire. Hah! Don't have enough to go to McDonald's without worrying about it. |

| Got in a very warm 6.2 this evening before the baseball game starts 8-ish. Sunglasses, headband, didn't matter, I was still blinded by the sweat. Very uncomfortable. Legs were OK, rest of me wasn't. But I gutted it out, maintained a good pace, averaging 9:25. Some good news on the job front. Got a nibble on the clinical/risk management job in LR, at least from the recruiter. I'll call her back tomorrow if I haven't heard from her. Also signed up for UI, not that I expect to see a cent from that, but maybe I'll luck out. hopefully something will work out soon and I won't have to stretch out that five weeks of pay. Also might be able to rent a house in LR at a reasonable rate. Keeping fingers and toes crossed... |

| Looks like I may be on the DL for a while. Left hammy painful during tonight's 7-miler on the Fayetteville trails, and didn't loosen up as the run went on; instead, it got worse. Went into walk/jog mode to finish the run. Now, two hours later, still painful. Hey, it's May. Take the time off and let it heal, if it is more than just a cramp. Probably just a bit of a strain. |
