A local woman who intended to go for a run today acknowledged that likely won’t happen, Dumb Runner has learned, as she helped herself to a glass of wine around 4 p.m.
“It’s five o’clock somewhere,” Margaret Thatcher, 33, muttered to herself as she poured the wine, reportedly an Oregon pinot noir, in her kitchen. “In fact, it’s five o’clock just one time zone over.”
Thatcher then swirled the wine in its glass, sniffed it deeply, and sipped.
“I’m running out of time to squeeze in that run,” she added.
Sources said Thatcher, a longtime runner and veteran of four marathons, had been planning to run her usual neighborhood route early this morning. Instead, the sources said, she slept in. The run didn’t happen at lunchtime, either, they said.
After an afternoon of work and two virtual meetings, the sources said, Thatcher looked at the clock, sighed, and took a wineglass from her cupboard.
“I’ll run extra tomorrow,” she said as she filled the glass, breathing deep. “For sure.”
“Cheers,” she whispered.
At last report, Thatcher was turning on some music and pouring herself a second glass of wine.
