How do they work? Every time I go out to lunch there's at least a dozen people out jogging. How is this even a possibility?

I think I would enjoy being one of those people though...how can I achieve this in my own life?

10/18/2010 12:27:04 PM

get laid off

i sometimes jog during lunchtime, and just eat at my desk later.

I do this, but my office has showers and a locker room. We also have a workout facility and fitness classes. I save money by not going out to lunch, but I enjoy the mental break of taking an hour away from my desk.

Shower access

10/18/2010 12:28:32 PM

^^^
I've wondered about this also. Do you have time to shower?

10/18/2010 12:28:51 PM

go during lunch.

i used to take late lunches and jog around campus.

this is much more complicated if you have to dress up for work, but its doable.

work in academia. my hours are flexible as hell. sometimes i don't get out of bed until 11, jog, and go to work at 1. then, i make up for it by working in my office until 10 pm or working all weekend.

sometimes i wish i had a set schedule but most of the times i'm glad as hell that i have so much flexibility.

With my job, I can take as long of a break as I'd like, as long as I get the work done. That said, my workouts tend to be intense, so they aren't super time-consuming.

If I run 5 miles on my lunch break, I'm done in under 40 minutes, leaving ample time to shower and change.

I don't wear makeup and I wear very simple clothing that doesn't wrinkle if it gets thrown in a locker. Lots of black skirts and dresses.

^^i was in the same situation a few years ago. it was niiiiiiiiiiiiice (assuming that was my only job)

Back at NCSU, joie used to go jogging during the day, work up an awful stank, then come to class and sit directly behind me. She would then flick the back of my ears all class long. On more than one occasion, she even followed me home on the bus, stankin, and blamed the odor on innocent indians.



God I hated joie.

i do this sometimes

live like 4 miles from work, leave a few minutes early, run fast, shower at home,

take your lunch back to work and eat it at your desk

10/18/2010 1:29:18 PM

my gym is a block from my office.

10/18/2010 1:30:08 PM

I take an hour and half lunch and run 3 miles, shower, and eat something quick like a sandwich or left overs.

10/18/2010 1:31:38 PM

I can't do this during the summer because it takes me a long time to cool down. Even after a shower I'll start sweating again in my work clothes

10/18/2010 1:43:01 PM

I envy people who have showers at the office. I'd love to run to work or at lunch but then I'd be nasty, and even though I live close it's not quite enough time for me to get home, change, run, shower, change and get back to work.

10/18/2010 1:45:14 PM

During the summers, I chug ice water immediately after my workout. It helps me cool off very quickly so I don't sweat as soon as I walk outside.

10/18/2010 2:29:18 PM

get laid off

be unemployed

10/18/2010 2:42:00 PM

I do this all the time

Except on the treadmill playing NBA 2k11

I sweat like Patrick Ewing and rarely shower

10/18/2010 2:44:50 PM

i only work until 3:00pm. i'm at the lake by 3:30pm the latest.
