Oblivious to the weather outside, I feebly gathered the final items for my run. Ms Garminia was completely exhausted and my headphones were missing in action.
Wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, I contemplated whether to attack scheduled interval workout or simply enjoy an easy run. While walking past my cubicle, the company’s Chief Medical Officer took one look at me and questioned my sanity. He wanted to know if I was really heading out into the “doom and gloom” of the day.
With the newly acquired information, I quickly pulled off my short sleeve and pulled on a long sleeve shirt before heading out into the damp day.
Just like that, it was settled: Hill Repeats x 5
I love when people don’t get a runner’s motivation or ability to go out despite the elements. Elements can’t stop real runners.
Great job being a bad-ass!
Yea, that’s HTFU. Thank the CMO for providing the opportunity to show it…
“There is no such thing as inclement weather. Only timid souls.”
One of my favorite quotes.
OK. If you can do it, so can I. It’s miserable today — cold and rainy (and it’ll be dark by the time I get out). But I’ve got a rain jacket. Maybe this is just what I need…
Sometimes those turn out to be the best runs because you know you are defying conventional wisdom and earning cool points, to boot.
