On Easter Sunday, I was given an opportunity to interview for a company I liked for what seemed like my dream job. I thought I did very well during the interview. I had the attitude, skills and experience necessary for the job.
Yesterday, I was rejected for the position in an e-mail. I was really upset for like 45 mins because I really thought that the job was a perfect fit. Then I picked myself up, dusted my feet and went online to look for other positions.
This morning, I woke up early and decided that I should work out my unhappiness and disappointment with a good long run. It looked like it was going to storm but I went out anyway. The weather held up and I ran/walked with all the energy I had despite fighting a sore throat and a slight fever.
By the time I came back, my endorphins had kicked in and I felt pretty good about myself.
Exercise is a most excellent way to vent. I had forgotten what it felt like to vent all of life's frustrations by simply hitting the road and running. It was something I used to do regularly 5 years and 15 kgs lighter ago.
Oh, there is a silver lining. I have lost about 2 kg in the last week by running every other morning.
