Still Job Hunting

I've been in Newy for a week now today and STILL looking for a job. I can usually find jobs quicker than this so I'm getting a little anxious, but trying to be patient. I made up my resume last weekend and have been searching the internet and walking around town trying to find a place that's even hiring. I found a job posting in the Newcastle Herald earlier this week that the Broadmeadow Racetrack Stables are looking for help so I called but the hours are 4:30am-9am and afternoons 2pm-5-pm. The mornings are when they need help, which I wouldn't mind at all, the only problem is getting there. I obviously don't have a car and the public transportation isn't even awake at that hour. I researched buses, trains, and even bike rentals. Thankfully, one of my roommates Rachel offered me her car on the mornings she's not working (about 3 a week) so I called back and now I'm meeting with some lady named Jo tomorrow morning! I really hope it works out. I would love to be back in a barn working with horses. 

Other than that, just trying to find restaurant/bar/cafe or even as much as I loathe the office an office job. I'll take anything. If the stables do work out I'll still need to find another job to supplement the rest of my week since it wouldn't be full time. 

I want to get back into a regular running routine so I went for my first run last Monday. I made it about a half hour until my left knee started hurting pretty bad. I walked a few minutes, tried running again but the pain escalated pretty fast so I turned around and walked back home. I never would have imagined that the Denver Marathon would wreck me like this! It's been months over and I just want to be back to normal. So I'm going to go for shorter runs to build my distance back up from scratch. We have a stationary bike at the house so I'll incorporate that in as well. 

The weather has been beautiful here all week; nothing but sunshine. I still haven't made it to the beach as sad as that is. I've been really preoccupied with job searching that I guess I would feel guilty lounging around at the beach while my savings is dwindling away. I'm hoping I'll make there this weekend, job or no job I need to see the ocean. 

All for now! Cheers
