    We have a "snack time" provided by our law firm every day at 3pm; while my coworkers are upstairs eating ice cream sandwiches and candy, 3x a week I sneak out to do my C25k run. It only takes 30 minutes and most of the time people don't even notice I'm gone.

    I have to douse myself in cold water in the bathroom as soon as I get back though or I won't cool off, and it's a hassle to change back into work clothes, but it's better than skipping a workout (or eating ice cream at 3 just because it's there and it's free). If I'm not meeting with anyone, I just stay in workout clothes until the end of the day.

    It has really freed up a lot of time after work too!

    30 minutes of walking is perfect.. I got my HRM and kept my rate right at 60% and tried not to go any higher so I wouldnt get all sweaty. about 160 calories burned but I get to enjoy the outdoors and it breaks the day up and work doesn't seem as long.
