Such is the Nature of Temp Work

Mon PM: Swim, 2K in 1 hour. Pseudo Squad.
Tue PM: 12.1K in 72 minutes.

I had a job interview after work on Monday, and it went well. Afterwards I got up to the pool for a pseudo squad session: I just did a typical squad swim complete with drills and rests. The pool was reasonably empty by the time I got up there, and it was a solid session.

This afternoon at work I was imformed that my services were no longer required - nothing against me, the work had run out. I wasn't too surprised as I knew there were technical hitches getting the data together for the work I was employed to do. I couldn't wait to get home and vent my frustrations out on Windsor Rd. It was a great run for that purpose, and whilst I was out there I got some positive feedback on the previous days' interview (I usually leave my phone at home, but I was hoping the agency would call). They have a couple of people they are yet to interview, but the feedback is good so far.

Ben...you really seem to be pumping out some good runs at the moment. I wont jinx u with a prediction at your next serious attempt at a half but if you are doing 20k in 113mins for a training run, then you are looking like u will give your PB a flush down the crapper of epic proportions. Keep it up

Fingers crossed for the job. I hope there will be less commuting for this one. Other than the work it seems like everything is on the up and up for you! Go Benny, go Benny! (just practising my cheering ;-)))

Ben, I wish that I was disciplined enough to pump out 2km in 1 hour!

You have a lot of people in cyberspace willing you along from the sidelines. It is wonderful to know that your non-chemical sleep has improved, and the agency's feedback is positive.

AS for your running, how can I contradict Greenie? You're a star with a huge PB looming!
