Snow halts work - but not running!

Naughty little post during work hours - I'm 'working from home' today because of the snow. I could have got to the office, but all my work is on computer, so decided not to spend time clearing all the snow and ice off the car and stay in the warm instead. Only 4 members of the team made it in today, so I don't feel guilty. Even if I do live the closest to the office ... ;-)

On the other hand, as long as the majority of snow has melted by tomorrow morning, I am definitely still on for Park Run #7 and hoping that the colder weather will help me improve my pace - I get so hot that I find the lower the temperature, the better the time!

That's why I use an alias on here! Ooops, just spotted my photo though. Epic fail on my part!

Aha, changed photo! And no-one at work sees these trainers - I have a different pair under my desk!

I don’t think they’d care much... my boss doesn’t mind me being on here as long as the job gets done.

To be fair, my bosses are the same - and we are a health research organisation, so there is quite an emphasis on staff health and wellbeing. I just like to paint them as the bad guys sometimes! :-)

I used to, but self hate is a negative thing 😂

Yeah... my boss is ok, but hard to call in sick when I’m not 😂

I bet he's really tough when you ask for a pay-rise, though!
