| Nice humid run in Bryant. Temps not bad, about 70, but megahumid. Forgot the Garmin, so estimating distance based on a mapmyrun map. Basically the same run I did last Sunday as a 5-miler, extended a bit on each end. Took just a smidge over an hour, so pace was OK. Hammy loosened up as the run went on, which was good. Right glute was a tiny bit of an issue. I think I need some more hill sprints to fix that. |

Good news on the job front! Contacted this afternoon by two recruiters within 15 minutes. One job in Little Rock with clinical/risk management duties, which sounds intriguing but might be boring as heck, and one as a hospitalist in Fort Smith. They're calling me tomorrow morning for a phone interview for the LR job, and I've already done some preliminary paperwork for the other one. Keeping appendages crossed. If this comes through quickly, I might even come out ahead financially, but I'm not gonna get that lucky. Settle for no eviction notices or disconnected utilities at this point.
Anyway, that lifted my mood considerably. Felt up to a fartlek run tonight to mark National Running Day. Did 6.82 with five 2-minute surges at roughly I pace on Daniels. Tough, especially given that it's still 82 degrees and humid, but did it without too much problem. Teenager went running past me just as I started the fourth rep; darn near caught him. |

Nice and slow tonight around JBH. Legs not too bad after hard fartlek last night, but it did take a full two miles tonight to really get loose. Maybe I'm adjusting to the heat a little better, or maybe it was just 3-4 degrees cooler tonight, but I seemed to handle it better. Still don't like it, but got through it better.
Two job interviews today by phone. Both seemed to go well. May get full interviews out of both. I hope so. Not sure which one I'd take if I had to choose. Of course, I don't know what one of them would pay. The other one, I know. |

| Midnight Beast tonight. Took Tyler to the regional at Baum (we won), came home, decided to go run. Started around 11:40, maybe later. Had planned to go 6-7, ended up making it into a Beast. A fairly slow (beast (9:44 avg.), but a Beast nonetheless. Managed not to walk despite the fact the temp was still near 80. As I type this at 1:30 a.m., it's still 74. All in all, a pretty good run considering. Only four runs this week, totaling almost 29 miles.I've got to get a little more diligent, or learn to tolerate the heat better, or both. Not having the distraction of unemployment/job hunting wouldn't hurt either. |
