Tuesday Time Warp

I've been following other running related blogs primarily Life's Little Epiphanies and OliveToRun.  Each day they seem to have a theme for their posts.  I feel that I should follow their lead, but somehow, I don't want to appear to just outright copy them.

I have been absolutely terrible about posting to this blog, I probably don't have too many readers following me anyway, but that's alright.

As some of you know from a previous post, I have been unemployed for about 6 months, it has been a very humbling experience and one that has made me reevaluate what is and isn't important in life.  I have been sending resumes, about 300; received two phone calls; and two interviews.  I was getting discouraged and started losing sleep over my next moves.

Until I received an e-mail for an interview, for a job that I really liked and wanted.

The company is based overseas, but they have offices in Houston.  They flew me down, put me up in a hotel and conducted the interview.  After two weeks, I received word of an offer!  I tried to remain calm and began reviewing the offer numbers over the phone before verbally agreeing to the offer.  The offer is very generous and will go a long way to righting the ship...  It will, however, mean relocating overseas, which I am very willing to do and excited at the opportunity.

 So in coming months, my GPS run location will be interesting...

In the meantime, here's today's run stats:
