Before work?

“I am not a person that can go either hiking or kayaking before work. I have always wanted to, but i just do not have the time in the morning. But I found a nice river near where I work and I want very much to try it before work. So who hikes or kayaks or just gets out in the morning before work.

any good secrets to not going into work smelly after a workout?

ok let the jokes fly!!”

“Well, I don't hike or kayak before work, but I run before work and my "secret" is to shower afterwards.

Cats out of the bag ...

I also put about 2 miles of hiking in during the workday on a nature trail, but it's purposefully slow going so as not to work up a big sweat.”

“I can help you with the smelly part.

Back in the 70's, while stationed in Oklahoma, I would run 5-7 during my lunch period. There was no shower. I discovered that it takes a lot more than a few hours for bacteria to build up to the point of creating an offensive body odor. The problem for me was not being able to cool off adequately and I'd just sweat through the afternoon. But, I would not stink.

I'm guessing that a little kayak trip or a brisk walk isn't going to get you any funkier than you already are.”

“Nimblefoot - girls stink worse than guys when they sweat. Especially "down there". haha - just kidding. (no, not really kidding, it's true)”

“Hmm, did NF just call ML a skank?”

“lol i am funky for sure :)

I worry about sweat. Thank god I work with animals so i can blame them for the smell HAHA

I am not a big sweater.

I look forward to being able to do this before work. it will set the mood for the day (at least I hope so)”

“nimblefoot was born stinkin.”

“I discovered that it takes a lot more than a few hours for bacteria to build up to the point of creating an offensive body odor

For some fortunate folks that may be true. For others it decidedly is not. YMMV”

“Maybe some powder? Or some lever wipes?”

“There's a difference between thinkin' you're stinkin' and other people knowing your are. When the pits start to get stuck together, we get a little paranoid and start thinking the funkometer is on the rise. It's not necessarily so. On the other hand, if your co-workers start telling you or throw you a GI shower or blanket party, then you may actually stink.

Note: Refrigerator saying someone stinks doesn't necessarily make it so. Happens to be true in my case, but not in most others.”

“Diet makes a hell of a difference in body funk.

Even my sweat smells clean........

Was that Springsteen?”

“Maple. get ahold of "The Book of Running" by Jim Fix. He addresses your concernsto a degree you may find helpful.”

“i guess i was just wondering more about if anyone goes haiking or kayaking before.

I DO NOT STINK!!!”

“sniff, sniff, are you sure :0)”

“Yeah, but I work at all different hours of the day. Not always first thing in the morning.”

“Make sure you're eating enough carbs to ward off the stench.”

“you guys are nuts


well at least i know sarabell loves me for ME and not my stinky butt.
right girlfriend?

we have a park right across from our house, but i do not feel safe going into it before dawn”

“Nimblefoot was only fooling himself.”

“to clean up on backpacks after a hot sweaty day i use antibacterial wipes and liberal mount of hand sanitizer, then apply a lot of antiperspireant/deoderant.”

“LOL...Women don't Sweat...the Glisten./”

“But are you a big sweater?”
