The motivation to want to get it done helps make it happen... but I can't say I'm always the most rested dad..<br /><br /><br />I imagine I'll have some blog posts about the kinks, but hopefully it helps people not make the same mistakes! But I am very lucky to have the lakefront path to make up the majority of my run!

Ever a German, what struck me about your efforts was how the smallest unexpected, silly glitch can derail the best laid plans. I find your blog instructive because I'm trying to keep up with my son and daughter in-law who live in the running capital of the world, Boulder, Co. Not sure how they even find time to run, but did return to Toronto in Oct. for the marathon. Earlier in the month Alex was in Paris, Norman, Ok and D.C. while Alysia was in Japan and D.C., at the super-collider in Basil, and at Fermilab. Their run-commutes involve racing from airline gate to airline gate. Who knew that federal research dollars single-handedly guaranteed profits for US carriers??<br />Also like the blog because of the animations.

I guess I could run to and from work, no coat needed either way. But I bring my blow-dryer with me when I plan to workout before work, because the blow dryers in the locker room at the office suck and my bangs look weird. <br /><br /><br />BEING PRETTY IS HARDMaggiehttp://www.magmilerunner.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637598219370719812.post-68373080160638967742014-01-10T10:46:15.373-06:002014-01-10T10:46:15.373-06:00Ah, the good ol' run commute.

The first ten or so times, though, I ALWAYS forgot something, and it was almost always essential (one day I had to spend all day at work in gym pants)... Figuring out the food situation was also annoying. But it actually took me less time to get to work that way (as opposed to the subway), so I didn't even have to take any extra time out of my day to run! Win-win! I'm thinking of starting a similar system now that I'm in grad school, only it's a million times more difficult because I don't really have anywhere to store my stuff!<br /><br /><br />Anyway, enough about me - good luck and may your first few times not be as embarrassing as mine were.Jeanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637598219370719812.post-44410299712346469662014-01-10T10:24:59.937-06:002014-01-10T10:24:59.937-06:00Re your first gif: TWHS!

Wow, you've ...Re your first gif: TWHS! ZING!<br /><br /><br />Wow, you've clearly put a lot of thought into making your commute runs work! That's a good idea to pack for the entire week on, presumably, a non-running day. And geez, anymore, I'll go pretty much anywhere sweaty and post-runs (bars included, as you know). I figure I'm still not the smelliest person wherever I am. Especially when it's the CTA.<br /><br /><br />Glad to hear you're feeling good enough to handle 60-65 miles weeks! :)Annehttp://annereallyblogs.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
