The continuing saga

It has been ages since my last update. The biggest news has been no news. I have been applying for teaching jobs in the US. I applied to about 7 different colleges and so far have received two direct no's, for one the funding was cut for the position, one interview and several non-responses. I will go for an interview around the 1st of June in Bremerton. The school will pick up part of the cost of the ticket so I am assuming they are interested in hiring me.

Running is quite sporadic at the moment. When I was in the US for spring vacation I lost a lot of fitness because I was focusing on finding a job. I have gained most of it back in the past few weeks and feel back to previous fitness. I run every morning with Loran and have been running most of the time in the afternoon with other teachers here. There are three other teachers who run with me most days. It actually helps quite a bit to have someone to run with. We don't run particularly fast but it is great to have the company. Yesterday I did a workout where I ran all the uphills hard. It made the run go much faster and was challenging. I haven't given up on my goals in running but I am focusing more on the important thing at the moment...getting a job.
