2007 - A New Hope

[marathondan]

So how does that 'run to the office' thing work out with sweat and grime? I presume you have showers at work (or a nearby leisure centre or gym)? I've always wanted to run at lunchtimes but a lack of facilities at the office means its a non starter.

Yep, showers at the office - mostly for the benefit of cycle users. Lunchtime is good, as at this time of year it's a rare chance of a daylight plod for us office drones. The problem with running to the office is that unless I pre-plan, I have to lug shoes, towel etc on my back, which makes an already unappealing pre-drawn trudge that little bit less pleasant.

My return leg last night was a little uncomfortable due to lack of practice, but I have rediscovered the endorphin high and am determined to make a bit of time for running again. To use a rather obvious quotation from a recent entrant to the great Hall of Fame in the Sky: I feel good... I knew that I would!

(I'm completely unfamiliar with JB's works apart from the really obvious, but just the song titles in his discography make fascinating reading. Not to mention those 80-odd albums.)
