A week ago I was shocked to find out that I no longer had employment, but was rather relieved to know that I be getting a much needed rest. The possibilities for getting in some serious training miles did actually occur to me, almost immediately.
I have logged 71 miles in the last seven days, that may be a record. Today I managed to get in two runs for 15 miles. I ran a slow 8 miles in the morning from the Y in to Turners Falls and back. The plan was to return to the Y for seven miles in on a tread mill, and a round of nautilus. I was not able to pull off the nautilus but I did get my mileage in on the treadmill, 7.2 miles in 50 minutes. So 15 for the day.
The job hunting stuff may be coming to a quick close. I have had two interviews this week. The first job is right on in terms of what I want to do, this grower wants me to take over their perennial range growing six pacts, quarts, gallons of finished plants. I can do that. The interesting part of this job comes in their future plans to offer perennial liners (plug trays) along with their well established line of annuals. I would grow the liners and run the perennial propagation.
Should be fun.
The second interview was interesting, but I do not want to grow strawberries.
Here are my miles at this point since the great labor day sacking.
