Only pussies think rest will help. Ever heard of atrophy?

The smaller I am when I get back to running the faster I'll be, right?

not, that cat must be long dead. That's kind of a downer.

How did this go? I'm sure you'll get snatched up by a firm right off the bat.

Dave, thanks for asking. It went very well. I talked with representatives from about 15 firms. To my surprise I was less impressed with the big guys than some of the smaller firms. Maybe that's part of their strategy. Anyways, I hope I made a good enough impression with some of them (in the five or so minutes we had) that I'll be getting an interview request.
On a related note, I met some people from a huge (think billion dollars of revenue  ) local shoe manufacturer at last night's football game. They are looking for assistance starting in October for their year-end financials. I got a really good feeling about this one. That would be great to get- a part time internship this semester in audit and a full time in the winter doing tax. Experience in both - as well as in private and public accounting! I'm not counting my chickens yet, but I'm pretty excited by it all.

Unfortunately, my foot is not really feeling any better than it has. At least I can lift. I sure am missing the running, though. A lot. It seems like I noticed so many more people out running yesterday than usual.

Hope your foot's back to normal soon. I found it amazing how many people were out running last year about this time when I was nursing a broken toe and couldn't wear shoes..or even walk comfortably. I almost started thinking that everyone and their cousins decided to go out and run just to rub in the fact that I couldn't.
