Run for Freedom: Day 4

I changed up my running strategy today. I was truly exhausted at the end of my runs and today, the thought of running the half mile around the neighborhood really created a mental block for me. It has a lot to do with the cold weather. And self-consciousness. So I decided to run up and down my street. I ran up the street and walked back down the street. I did this 10 or 11 times until I had gone a mile. So I still ran my half mile, but I did it in intervals. That seemed to work. It got me over my mental block, at least. And it's prepping me for going a full mile in the weeks to come.

I found myself driving to Newark this afternoon for an interview. I have no idea how it went, except that they invited me back for a demo lesson. That could mean anything. I'm excited to get the chance to do another demo, at least. I'm supposed to do a walk-through of the other job I interviewed for - at the Juvenile Detention Center, but I'm really not qualified for that position and I don't think I would do a good job. I'm considering cancelling the walk-through. Opinions on that are welcome.

I just ate some leftover taco filling from yesterday - and this time I put it in a taco shell instead of a collard green and the result was phenomenal. They tasted so much better without the bitterness of the collard green. I would change out the collard greens for romaine or Boston lettuce in the future.
