What do you do when you can’t get your morning run in and you are packed with meetings through lunch?

Figure out a way to run home. A rewarding shower waits at the finish line.

I packed running tee and shorts. I still had to figure out the backpack situation. It may be fine to run with a laptop bag for fifteen minutes, but not fifty. Here’s my hack: grab delivery via bike. This hack is not possible in the US, but it is in Vietnam.

I’ve done it twice now. Today, after my afternoon meeting in District 1, I booked Grab delivery to send my backpack home. I had changed into running clothes in the Hilton hotel’s restroom. The grab driver naturally would reach my home as the destination before I could, and I proceeded to pick up my backpack from the package delivery corner.

By titling the event with the word “Grab”, I can look back in the future how many times I’ve done this hack.
