Marathons in Resume Forum

[Patriot1208]

I had my running interest on my resume. Spent five minutes at my NU interview discussing it. Adcom appeared rather impressed, particularly after learning that I did my routine outside, no matter the weather (yes, I was that obsessed). /end anecdotal evidence

What exactly did you put on your resume? I've only done a couple half marathons, not a full. But this is only because I won't run one till I'm confident I can put in sub 4 hrs.

When I have applied for jobs - some asked for outside interests and that is where I mentioned the marathons. I've run 2 now - I'm 22, I'd like to get under 3:00:00, PR stands at 3:05:17 (104th in Boston for all females).

Seemed to definitely impress a lot of them (and also inspiring people I know to get in shape) anyways my current office decorated my whole cubicle after I ran Boston. But I also have not yet put it on my resume...there's not enough room for it and I'm using 11 size font and 1 in margins to make it fit on one page. I might expand the resume for law school, though.

I also have a CV that I'm using to apply for Fulbright.

+1, just because that time is blazing

Also, if you legitimately need the space take 2 pages
