As I am still on the journey of job hunting, please bear me sharing some
experiences with you, which were related with our running-:)
The first interview was in a research university at the beginning of April.
During an earlier interview, someone asked me what do I do during a weekend.
I said "I like running", and somehow I mentioned the 50miler I run in Feb.
Later in the individual meeting with the department chair, he told me "you
do not need to be shy when talk about your running. you should be proud of
it" and he told me he found my race results on the internet, which I took as
a good sign-:) I did not run during this interview but had several tempo
runs that week.
The second interview was about two weeks ago at a teaching school. I got the
call on Tuesday to come for an interview on Friday. As I drove to Houston
to catch the flight on Thursday morning, I realized I did not have the
agenda and also did not know what would happen after I landed there. Well,
it was only 1.5 miles from the airport to the hotel, at least I can walk-:)
The morning of the interview day, I woke up earlier to finish a 12 miler. It
was a good day. Until when I was complaining to one friend that I was so
sleepy on Sat., I realized that interview day I was up for about 21 hours:
staring with the run at 5:30am, interview, walking in the beach, flying back
, driving home, and arriving around 1:30am.
The third one, also the most recent one is this Thursday at a big company
research center. Thank you all my friends who have encouraged me on my FB
page! One of my sweet friends send me a message when I was on the way, she
said" whenever you feel nervous, talk about running, as you always look so
happy when you talk about running"-:) I did a tempo run on the morning of
the interview day. I sweat too much and it took long to cool down, so be
careful if you want to do a tempo before an interview-:) During the non-
technical interview and the talk with HR, I talked several times about my
running, which helped me not to feel too boring with some of the questions-:)
On Friday morning, I was pathetic to write something this: Could not see the
sign of the directions. Not sure when the stars will shine. I guess it is
fine that I have enjoyed each opportunities. I guess there is a place
somewhere for me... Thinking about what Feynman said again:all of which, if
you understand reality and take it completely into your heart, are
irrelevant and unsolvable. They are just things that nobody can know. Your
situation is just an accident of life.
I know I need to learn to be patient with the process and to enjoy the
moment with the unforeseen uncertainties. After all, on the road, you become
the person who want to be. --To be continued-:)

I like your sharing. I wish I started running back when I was hunting for a
job. Interview is also a process of learning and self-discovery. Start early
and enjoy the process!

I enjoyed reading your story. And I can tell you do have a lot confidence in
yourself, not only the one that was brought up by your running experience.
Keep it up. Best of luck to you.

最近这个面试前和一朋友说自己“真是不要感觉太好”－：）
每次面试完都自己感觉很好，但到现在还没有任何结果。。。
第一个我是第二个面试的，整个面试四月结束，几周前系主任说这个月底可能会做决定
第二个收到信说可能需要再去给学生上一节课
第三个呢，组里还在招ｍａｎａｇｅｒ，等的可能会长一些
每次别人一说这些理由，我都马上相信，但偶尔会想是不是人家找的借口呢？

I m never good at interviews, but running is a very positive topic to talk.
A lot of top guys in companies are runners, probably because rich dudes care
about their health.

it's mile 23 in a marathon, you may feel tired or hit the wall a bit, but
there is only a 5k to go, push it, not far to the end.

恭喜！肯定搞定！
我觉得你的策略很好，我也准备啥时候跑个完整的马拉松，以后换工作面试可以说虽然
跑得慢，但是能够face challenge。。。哈哈
其实面试聊聊自己熟悉的话题，kill时间不说，再开开玩笑，很多时候效果会很不错。
。。俺以前玩过很长时间乐队，所以每次一面试说team work精神，我就会说，你看，
一直在乐队里面，从来没有被被动踢出来，teamwork肯定没问题。。。然后再话题一转，
说发现自己还是木天分，所以这不就干了这行。。。把面试的人逗乐为止
