First Lunchtime Run


where I work

 
I’ve never run during my lunch break before.  One of my colleagues told that she runs 7 miles at lunch.
 
Well, she’s fast. She has her own private office.  She doesn’t have to leave her office at a moment’s notice to help faculty or staff.
 
But the forecast of impending rain and or snow for the next few days made me decide on Tuesday to take my first lunchtime run.
 
It wasn’t the best day to do it.  It was cool (so I didn’t sweat) but VERY WINDY.  My QUADS were screaming “No, don’t do this!!”  (I was also going to be playing tennis after work.)
 
It did it anyway.  I wore my running clothes under my work clothes and at my cubicle, I changed, added my sneakers, Garmin, cap.
 
I snuck out and slowing ran 3.5 miles and then grabbed something to eat & ate it at my desk.
 
Will I do it again?
 
Maybe if we have another nice day & I am busy after work.  Though, once we turn the clocks back, I will probably run before work.
 
Happy Running! Anyone else run during their lunch break?

  1. one of the MDs runs during lunch where I work. He SMELLS and the staff complains and complains about how how dumps his clothes on the floor before the run, then wears them afterwards. And did I say he smells. and they complain.

  2. I think I am on the luckier end since there is a gym in my office. I just hop on the elevator and am able to get dressed / shower / etc in the locker rooms downstairs. If I didn’t have that option, I’m not sure I’d ever run at lunch. That’s awesome you had the motivation to get prepped at your desk!
