I GOT A JOB!!!

Today I started a new job at a small local transportation engineering firm.  I got the job by calling up the owner when I was laid off.  See, we worked on a major project together (but different aspects).  I remembered enjoying all the guys from the company, and also all the positive feed back I had got from them.  I'm able to work the exact schedule I worked at Atwell (Monday - Thursday, 7-2:30, Fridays off)... and I get a few extra holidays.  I will miss Burt though, because today the office was SO quiet.

I'm so grateful I was able to find a good job as quickly and painless as I did.

 

I'll post more when Brandon gets home and I can go run.

*****************************************

I ran 4.41 miles in the rain with some serious headwind.  It was rough... but felt great!  My right knee is a bit upset.

I had to add this...  I think Burt will appreciate it.  If anyone looks at these pictures and wonder what the heck... send me a personal message.  In the meanwhile, Burt... Enjoy!!!

Crushin' 2009!

Okay... I was going good, very strong, great pace (about 8:45 min/mil) and then my stupid shoe untied... so I stopped to tie it.  Then I could not start again.  My knee hurt (and continues to hurt) SOOOO bad.  I couldn't run...  I really couldn't walk.  I walked the 1.5 miles home.  Now it isn't as bad (thank you IBprofen), but it's still sore.  Any advice as to what I should do about it?

Thanks!
