His long runs peaked in terms of mileage a couple weeks ago with 30-mile, 20-mile, and 20-mile runs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday respectively. That?...
Rejection is a fact of life. I can handle rejection. What I can’t handle is a higher-stakes combination of being stood up by a date without a plausible reason and being given the cold shoulder by a group of middle school girls for no reason. Believe it or not, many of us have been rejected before, in ways more painful than by a job. Yes, it can be disappointing, frustrating, heartbreaking, and may even draw tears, but rejection is not always a bad thing, and can definitely make you a stronger person. So, dear employers...
