Running in the rain when travelling is OK – how to dry your shoes with a laptop
A few days ago I went on an epic (life changing) run through New York (across the Williamsburg bridge with awesome view of the Manhattan skyline). It was AMAZING! Tonight I tried to reproduce it but it was raining super heavily, but that didn’t stop me, it was kinda like a survival run, stop and risk drowning or freezing.
The run was epic but the problem is… I fly out in the morning and my shoes and all my running clothes are completely saturated.
Instructions –
-
Lay your shoes on the ground,
-
Sit your laptop on a box or something else (hopefully not flamable) and point your laptop’s heat-fan/exhaust towards the shoes
-
Because Windows 7 runs so cool, you won’t get enough heat to dry the shoes with your laptop “out of the box”. you need to trick the laptop into thinking it is buys so it starts pumping out hot air. To do that you can download some type of app that will max out the CPU (like this one) or do some video encoding, etc. etc.
While you sleep before your flight, your shoes will be getting dry and you can put them in your suitcase without ruining suitcase or shoe.
