The weather has warmed up a bit over the last few days, and I can't
get enough of being outside. I walked to and from a work meeting in a
different building yesterday (about 2.8 miles round trip) and although some
of the sidewalks are still icy, it practically felt like Spring! Lots
of dripping sounds from all the snow and ice melting from the trees and
rooftops.
On Monday I went for a run
over my lunch hour to enjoy the sunshine, and it was wonderful. My pace
has been slowed by having to navigate all the slippery streets lately,
but I don't mind. The run still feels good, I was never fast to begin
with so I'm not terribly worried about speed, and leaping over the icy
patches makes me feel like I'm a video game character or action movie
hero. "Runs like the wind! Leaps obstacles in a single bound!" I did
have a startling discovery later in the work day, however. I'd thought
that a short run during the day in cold temperatures was fine, since I
don't sweat much and can bring a change of clothes to work... but about
an hour after I got back to my desk I brushed my cheek and noticed what
could only have been a big smear of freeze-dried snot. Totally
professional, totally awesome. I'll be here all week.
Do you have an office job? How do you get exercise during the work day?
