this weekend i plan to run my long run to work and back. no, i don't work on saturday... i just want to see how long it will take me if i run it at a super leisurely pace. it's about 9 miles at the most and the route isn't on what one would consider too busy of streets (considering i live in a pretty rural area) so i'm sorta excited to see how long it will take. i'm guessing it will take me nearly 1.5 hours or just under that given the conditions of the road. i'm allowing a lot of extra time for slushy roads and the possibility of getting lost as i've never run these roads before and i'm quite possibly THE WORST at directions. so round trip it will be an 18 mile run... i'm wondering if i should bust out my brand spanking and shiny new ak 2.0 race vest that i bought for the 50K in may. i dunno tho'... that might be overkill. after all, it is only 18 miles. a water bottle is probably sufficient.com·mute [kuh-myoot] verb (used without object), com·mut·ed, com·mut·ing. to travel regularly over some distance, as from a suburb into a city and back: He commutes to work by train.
if the run goes well i am planning on doing it once a week throughout the summer months. i will have to get a cleanliness plan in place so i'm not a super gross cretin at work on the run days. some baby wipes and such... just to freshen up and not have pustules forming all over my person throughout the day. ick...
how nice would that be? to be able to fit my run right into my day like that? lovely really...
would you be able to run to work? if so, would you want to? how far is your work place from your home?
