What ails me

Mind: It looks like I'm going to have to get a lawyer to make sure I get proper parental rights with Noah. I've tried to be civil with his mother. But I've noticed that she makes it harder for me to see him when she is mad at me. And when she is mad at me, she only lets me see him when she needs to run errands. I won't get into the details of our arguments, but let's just say things got real ugly Saturday.

Body: I've got a sore soleus/peroneal muscle that is also giving me pain on the outside of my ankle. I've been rolling and stretching and usually this pain goes away after the first few miles when I'm running. But Saturday, the pain never went away - and it didn't help that I ran 15 miles on a 14-mile route because I got lost. So, I think, for the first time since April, I'm going to take two consecutive days off and not run again until Tuesday. I'm going to need the rest anyway: We have a 26-mile long run scheduled for Saturday.

Soul: Hmmm... I can't run. I can't see my son. And I don't have a job.

Speaking of jobs: I got another rejection letter in the mail Saturday from a would-be employer. The best line read: "Although we were impressed with your abilities and accomplishments, we have filled the position with a candidate whose qualifications were better suited to our current needs."

I'm not going to "out" the potential employer because they said they would keep my information on file for six months. Who knows, maybe they'll give me another look, though I highly doubt it.

By the way, I do have a phone interview for a job Monday. It's part time writing/editing gig, only 24 hours a week, but it pays up to $30/hour. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
