care to share your recipe? my houses food council (my child) may find this delightful in the visual state you present.

i know you can generally eat anything at any time you want, but would this be served for breakfast/brunch?

it took a bit a planning before starting, and all the questions you asked were factors in whether i would be able to do it. My job does have gym facilities on the premises and i do pack a change of clothes every day i run to work.

in my office i left some daily essentials like a small toiletries bag, a pair of shoes, emergency pair of socks, towel, and some snacks.

Choosing the right bag i felt was very important. i looked for a bag that was very light and had many anchor points so it wouldn’t move around while running. found the perfect bag - Flash22 by REI and is big enough to fit my clothes, 1-2 small electronics, and a bento. Thats about it because if i put anything more into it the bag becomes a burden. Planning out my pack was essential to make this enjoyable.

Some other things i prepped/tested:

I work mostly on computers, and since i am limited with bringing tech home due to space and weight, i made it so i could remote into any of my work devices before i started running.

i ‘raced’ the bus that stops by my home to see if i could beat it to the station. given it makes 10 stops, and i was able to take direct paths, it ended up with me being to the station a few minutes before. if i wouldve been outpaced greatly i dont think id have started.

probably my favorite bonus is that my daily run fits better into my schedule. When i get off work i hardly have time to do a run because i have to tend to my child. I’ll take him on stroller jogs, but sometimes that is a pain after a long day of work. so being able to squeeze in my commuting as my workout activity is really nice for time management.

If im not running i have an escooter, but as the weather changes ill like switch more to running.

im fortunate to be able to do this, and if youre able to id highly recommend giving it a shot!

i stopped commuting to work in my car and switched to a motocompacto + public transit. Probably one of the best decisions ive made this year. while it was a little up front investment, i have since paid it off with no longer having to pay for downtown parking. im also a one car home and i would prefer my wife have some easy access to a vehicle should an emergency happen with me or my kiddo.

love riding the moto every morning to the metro line, packing it up and out of the way of other commuters. anecdotally, it really does seem like more scooters and assisted bikes are on the road in my area. though that could just be due to the season.

the change would not be ideal for many, but it fit my needs perfectly.

2 months ago fell down the stairs and landed with all my weight onto my left large toe. figured it would’ve healed within a week, but here we are. missed my planned half, but there is always next year. Now its time to get back into a routine. Thankfully my work is hosting a step competition this month and i intend to run commute starting tomorrow!
