Business travel is not conducive to running

I’m in New York for two days on business.  I had an excellent ride on the corporate jet this morning.  Flight left on time and arrived on time.  No more waiting for commercial flights in the airport lounge 🙂  My hotel is two blocks from Central Park.  One of the five New York buildings that my company leases is right beside Central Park.  I could easily transfer over here if I wanted to and run in Central Park everyday after work. 

I can see so many runners passing through Central Park.  But these business trips include not only all day meetings but also long five course three hour dinners afterwards.  It’s a good thing we do not have those three martini lunches that they used to have in corporate America circa 1950s or else I would gain so much weight.  No time to run the beautiful 6.1 mile loop around Central Park.  Too bad because New York has fabulous running weather this week in the high 50’s to low 70s.

I did not even attempt to bring running gear knowing I am all work and no play.
