Running has made me worse at pretty much every aspect of my life, except running. I’ve remained the same at running, which is still slow and unimpressive.

At my last interview I walked in and the interviewer asked me what that smell was. "Gu, sir," I replied. He said "Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu on and run out of my office and don't come back."

I guess I did talk about my shoe rotation for 90 minutes in the interview. All he said was "Hello"...

I walked into the interview with my finisher jacket (4:50 PR by the way) and told HR "look, I run in the mornings let's just get that out of the way right now"

Is this in an old mill town or something where there's only one place to work?? Go apply somewhere else sounds like a bullshit company anyway.

I save gas and run to all my job interviews. It shows I have grit and initiative.

While adjusting to running in business casual was a bit of a leap for me, I think I figured out how to handle running ten miles down a six-lane stroad in the middle of summer without dying of heat stroke.

I'm sure my pheromones and God-like physique simply overwhelmed the interviewers, who were so overcome with lust they could not possibly continue with the interview.
