Day 3

This morning I went to the bank to open an account.  I knew I had to make an appointment but assumed it would be that day... I now have an appointment for next Tuesday.
Had lunch in town and noticed a few "we're hiring" signs, so thought I might wander around desperately tomorrow with a handful of CVs.  In preparation for this, I went to the library and got my free library card (they are usually $12 a year, but they are celebrating their anniversary) found a computer and printed out a few CVs.  The problem is that I still don't have a phone, so only my email address is available to contact me.  "Getting a cellphone" is bumped up higher on my mental to do list.
I have attempted to walk back to Cecily's place along a different street each time. 95th has roadworks and dust, 96th has slightly scary people hanging about.  So far I prefer 97th - China town.  Bought myself a nice bubble tea to cool me down.
This evening was my first Running Room group run at the 109th street store.  The bus there is the heat was pretty horrible, but I found it OK and handed in an application form for a job (fingers crossed).  As I was 15mins early, I had a look round the shop and lusted after all the lovely running kit.  There were lots of other people in there waiting for the runs who told me they would make announcements when it was all starting.  I decided to do 7 hills with the marathon training group.
As it turned out, it was a particularly long and steep hill and there was the added bonus of a marked 50m stretch near the bottom for full-on sprinting.  the hills group was by far the largest and everyone was very encouraging and friendly.  there were quite a few other newbies, which was nice.  they do hills every wednesday but with slight alterations so I'll definitely keep going, and on sunday they meet for long runs.  I miss my Coventry running buddies!
I decided it was far too hot still to get the bus back so set off to try and find my way on foot.  As I ran through a nice park I saw a giant jack rabbit loping along.  Quite different to the cute little bunny rabbits at Warwick.  I also ran up 104th street, which is part of the Edmonton heritage trail.  Maybe I should have bought my camera with me!
