FUNemployment?

Guess what, bloglandians?  I am now among the ranks of the unemployed!  Seems like there is a bit of this going on out in blog land at the moment.  Mine was a self-prescribed unemployment.  On a Monday at 5:24pm, I gave my resignation.  I didn't walk in planning on giving my resignation that day.  But after a few events that happened within a few hours, I knew it was time to go.  I really adore my former boss and the business she has created - I knew I was not giving to 100% required to be successful.  My heart wasn't in it, and that's what she deserves.  Sales has to be in your blood to be successful - you have to thirst for the next kill deal, and I never had it.  I loved the relationship development, but I never lusted for the capture of the kill.  It was my sales downfall.  So I left.

Which means I now have a lot of time on my hands.  What will I do next?  I'm not quite sure.  I'll probably teach more spinning.  I may get certified to teach some additional things.  I'll help take care of my mother in law when she moves here in less than a month.  I'll keep the house clean, and I'll train like a beast for IM70.3 Muncie (which is now less than 9 weeks away).

I'll reflect, I'll try to find a real path.  I'll find creative ways to make money.  I'll figure it out.

On the race front, I missed my sub 2:15 goal at the Capital City Half Marathon this Saturday by 4 seconds.  My time?  2:15:03.  That damn sub 2:15 still alludes me!  But I ran a great race - and as another friend pointed out "surely, there's a margin of error with those timing devices". I still want to see it in print through - 2:14:59 or faster.  I WILL get there.
