Jim, there are plenty of options for folks that don’t have showers at work.

  1. Look for a local gym or pool with a locker room (I use the locker room at a local elementary school)
  2. See if anybody you know lives near there and is willing to lend a shower.
  3. Make use of an outdoor hose (obviously in warmer weather and usually combined with…)
  4. Bring some soap and a hand towel into the rest room.
  5. Get dropped off in the morning (spouse, carpool, whatever) and then run home from work (problem solved)

When I bike to work, I take it easy and am not usually too sweaty so I just soap off in the rest room and then change into work clothes. When I run at lunch, I run from the locker room at the elementary school. I also go the run home from work route on occasion since it’s usually pretty convenient on mornings when my wife heads in to town around the time I want to be at work.

Given that probably <.01% of businesses have showers available for employees, I'm glad I don't know anyone who heeds that advice.

You're right, they grow so fast. The really nice thing is that running for us is a family affair, with all four of us going to running club on a Thursday night and having a go at their races once a month. <em>Audrey's last blog post..<a href='http://runwithdogs.com/audrey/too-tired-to-run-today/' rel="nofollow">Too Tired To Run Today</a></em> I was so pleased when my 5 year old son lost the training wheels on his bike, so now I can run with both my children.
