Interviews and Running

It's been an exciting couple weeks here in the Johnson household. Isaac and I have both been interviewing for new jobs--both of us within our current organizations. Isaac flies to Pittsburgh on Tuesday to interview Wednesday for an Energy Engineer position. This would be an amazing opportunity for him. So please pray that he will knock their socks off--just like I know he will (you should see how he has prepared for these interviews).

I am in the waiting stage. I've had a phone screen with HR, a phone interview with the hiring mgr, and 3 hours of in person interviews last week. Was that ever intense! I should hear something this week, so we'll see how it works out. I would definitely appreciate your prayers as I've had a hard time sleeping with all this job excitement. We've both had major roller coasters at work recently, and it would be nice for things to settle down for awhile.

On another front, running is going well! I almost logged 100 miles this month--probably my most ever since I was training for the Marine Corps Marathon in 2006. I think I was 9 short, and I just couldn't get it in gear yesterday to run. I think the blisters on my feet were probably thankful! : ) We have the Rock 'N Roll 1/2 marathon in Va. Beach this weekend. I am so excited! The best part is spending the weekend with Kathleen and Haley. The race starts at 7 am on Sunday, so I'm hoping for the best weather possible. (Plus I've been training in this hot, soupy weather all summer.)

I'll post pictures and updates as I get them. Thanks for your prayers!
