working it out

have we talked about the philosophy of working out? i cannot remember. so, i will give it to you.

to me, a workout is like... well, like a meal. you may skip one meal, but would not skip 2 in a row, or you'd be very hungry & feel ill. if you skipped a meal, you'd want to eat as soon as possible. you'd be insulted if your boss asked you to give up a meal for the sake of a work meeting. people don't give you a hard time about having a meal, and they don't question that you would need one.

my boss has planned a 2-day off site retreat, and it doesn't look like there will be a chance for working out either day. i put forth to him this philosophy, and he said that i should bring running clothes & go run for 30 minutes during the lunch hour. well - ::sigh:: - that is generous of him, really, but 30 mins? by the time i get my clothes changed, i would have, like, 10 mins to run before i needed to be back to change my clothes back. i do not think that is going to work. but, i hate to not take him up on the offer. maybe i will, on the first day, and then if it doesn't really work, i will not try it again the next day.

thoughts?
