The Hilarious Excuse Note to Get You Out of Work for a Midday Run


Happy Global Running Day, friends! If you’re worried about getting side-eye from your boss for dipping out of the office for a mid-work run (perhaps with Suzanne Allaire of the November Project?), don’t be: Yesterday, Emmaus-based Runner’s World magazine Instagrammed a handy — and hilarious — excuse note, penned by Bart Yasso, chief running officer for Runner’s World (yep, that’s a real title) and unofficial Mayor of Running for, well, everywhere. The note is designed to get you out of work for a midday sweat session on this very special day—but really, it could work any day. After all, Global Running Day SHOULD be every day, right?

Check the note out below. Then print it out, fill it in, hand it to your boss and lace up your sneaks, people!
