My parents are here now. Their arrival gave me an opportunity to do something I’ve wanted to do for awhile.
I ran to work.
Work is about ten to eleven kilometers away. I’ve never done it before because I only ever wanted to go one way. So while I could get to work, I didn’t want to try running back home again. Since my parents were here, and picking me up from work, I got my wish.
Of course I arrived at my company rather smelly. It was minus fourteen, with bit of a wind chill, but I still sweated. I had a plan for this too. Last year the Club Fit in the building tried to convince the new tenants to become members. A bunch of us went on the tour. Generally, I figured out it wouldn’t be worth the money. I get more than enough exercise with my regular running routine. But the benefit of the sales pitch was that they gave me a business card. On the back of which was a free pass to the gym.
So I used the card, took a shower and then left. Never even touched an exercise machine.
Normally such an act would cost $10.
