Naked man (total hot bod) running around my building outside. To be clear, this never happens.

The second time he passed me he said "Sorry about this".

Um, "NO PROBLEM!", I said.

Good morning, indeed.

Is that LEGAL?

No, but noone minded. Security were laughing.

Had he been homely, it would have been a different story.

But WHY? WHYYYYY?

Did he lose a bet or something?

That's what I reckon, or something along those lines ...he didn't seem drunk though (it was 7 am so thought this was part of late 'night' antics), mid 30-'s approx.

Since he ran by me twice at top speed, I did briefly wonder if it was possibly an installation along the lines of Martin Creed's 850 from the Tate (this vid bites, but you get the idea):

September 04, 2008

Work No. 850 centres on a simple idea: that a person will run as fast as they can every thirty seconds through the gallery. Each run is followed by an equivalent pause, like a musical rest, during which the grand Neoclassical gallery is empty. This work celebrates physicality and the human spirit. Creed has instructed the runners to sprint as if their lives depended on it. Bringing together people from different backgrounds from all over London, Work No. 850 presents the beauty of human movement in its purest form, a recurring yet infinitely variable line drawn between two points.
