I mean do not they assume the worst by default (that is you were laid off/fired)? thanks.

Quote from you "My life is slowly getting back to normal. I quit my job and got into heavy debt for this surgery. Now my schedule is booked with job interviews (yay). So far its looking really good. If everything goes right, I will start working in March (and hopefully making way more than what I was making before)."

I basically told them that I left for medical reasons and left it at that. I actually did my first interview in crutches (this was in March before I could walk around 100% unassisted). The demand for software engineers is such that people will overlook a lot of red flags when hiring. At my current job (which I joined after my LL break), another candidate was hired at the same time as I, in a similar circumstance (long gaps of unemployment). It became very clear why said candidate had long gaps of unemployment and why companies are wary of hiring people who have long gaps.

However, gaps (whether its for medical reasons or for travel related sabbatical) after several years of employment don't look as bad.

I'm working out heavily now to try to get to my pre LL level of fitness (8.5 minute mile nonstop, 6 minute mile in 1 minute increments when doing HIIT, run 12 mph for at least 30 seconds, run 3 miles in under 30 minutes, squat 160 ish, deadlift 160 ish, and do 90 jump squats in 3 sets).


This September 26th marks the 2nd anniversary of my LL surgery. I’m making it a goal to reach these stats by then. I’m pretty close. I haven’t kept track but I think I have a faster mile time (I’ll verify next week when I recover from the flu). I managed to run at a 5:18 pace for.1 miles. I’ve been training ridiculously hard for the past 2 months.

I’ll post my stats on that day.

If that number sounds too good to be true it is...
I was using Runkeeper. Apparently it’s ridiculously off. I measured the distance again properly. My actual time was actually 5:50 minutes/mile pace. It’s better than my pre LL time but I want to sustain that speed for at least a mile...

I got way too excited when I saw 5:18... damn...

Some bad news. I was down with the flu for the past week so I was not able to train. I don't think I'll meet my goals by Sept 26th. I was trying to get to my pre LL athletic status by my 2 year anniversary.

Hello Puru, I'm from India. Can you tell me about your current athletic status? Can you run? Walk? Do normal things? Do you fit into the normal world?

5:50 still very good even if it's just one tenth of a mile
