    My legs are now starting to feel stiff - what's the solution?

    Gentle stretching. Or ask one of your hot collegues to rub them.

    OK, so I've been for a run in my lunchbreak - I was very sensible and did 1 minute jogging and 1 minute brisk walking (repeated 10 times).
    I'm still alive and my face has returned to its normal colour (rather than the bright red when I had finished).
    My legs are now starting to feel stiff - what's the solution?
    A gentle walk to the shop for a bar of chocolate?
    Suggestions welcome

    wow at lunchtime- that's dedication ! well done boatie :j

    If we had any 'hot' colleagues here- I'd be going running if that's the done thing !! Unfortunately they are all dreadfully unattractive ;)

    Sometimes you can be in a room full of people and it just feels like you're in a room all by yourself...
