W6 not entirely planned ;-)

Today was supposed to be my rest day. Did some strength exercises in the morning, spent most of the beautiful day at work (unfortunately...), left a bit after dusk and just in time for the train home. And then, just on the street, I realized that I left my phone in the office.

After going back, some stairs up, unlocking the office, finding said phone, relocking everything etc. I was definitely late for the train.

And thus I ran. Wearing my semi-decent office clothes and Doc Martens and carrying two bags.

I did catch the train. Moreover, I realized that I was not out of breath at all.

After all, it was only something like 700 m.

Sorry to hear you missed that train... but what a great demonstration of how far you’ve come with your fitness.

I did catch that train, with about 2 minutes to spare, that was the best part!
