Isn't it amazing how rejuvenating a run, even a short run, can be? I am in the midst of a 5 day stretch at work. The first 3-12's were rough. Exhausting. But today I had just under an hour free due to meetings (really boring ones :-P) I had to attend and did a quick change and got in just over 4 miles. It was FANTASTIC! I felt like a new person when I got back. Physically it was a boost, but mentally it was rejuvenating. Exactly what I needed to reset myself to be positive about the rest of the week :). But to my coworkers, I should apologize ... I skipped a shower for an extra half mile ;-). Have you ever done that?
And lastly, but by no means least!!! A HUGE shout out to Michael @ http://slowlytri-ing.blogspot.com/ on becoming a Marathoner!!!!!
I love it when I can slip in a run. All too often, I stall and don't get around to it, and I'm so much happier when I actually get out and go. And yes, I've definitely skipped the shower. :)
ReplyDeleteWay to not use the 12 hour shifts as an excuse and sneak in a run! I don't get to run at lunch at work but I've skipped showers at home more out of laziness and getting tired of showering 2x per day.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about running on my lunch tomarrow because of my after work commitments. A shower would not happen for me after but I am seriously considering it.
ReplyDeleteI totally skip showering all the time! In fact I did it today! I had to make up 13 miles on the stationary bike that I was supposed to do last night, but my husband got a flat tire, so I did it today. I did it during my 2-hour break and I did not shower after. I bet I smelled lovely in front of the classroom!
