You’re more likely to run into people if you are jogging around the office like your boss. Causing even one incident involving hot coffee would yield lots of negative utility. You’d go from “That fun, goofy guy who jogs around the office” to “That reckless, inconsiderate asshat who spilled scalding coffee on Dave”.
I always try to park far away in large parking lots (burns calories and less chance of door dings) and sometimes jog to the front door. Maybe I get mood boost?
One other consideration is sweating. You’re more likely to sweat if you jog any distance vs. just walking. Often not a big deal depending on your attire and agenda.
Re: running into people—that’s why I included the comment on discretion. In my office, there’s not a lot of traffic and when you’re around where people get coffee you can see what’s going on.
I did not consider sweating; valid point. Balance and discretion, again. If you’re not in a position where you can comfortably feel sweaty with little repercussion, walk.
Spirit of the law vs. letter of the law, kind of thing. Thanks for the points!
