But I made it there and back to tell the story and hope that continuing to tackle the hills will make them easier.
    The most important part of this story is that YOU DID IT!!!! Congrats on your first commute! It WILL get easier- that's a guarantee!!!



    And I wanted to share with you something that is a first for me. Of the last 10 days of work, I have commuted all 10. Of the last 15, I've commuted 12 (sick 2 and lazy one day).
    I usually commute 2-3 days a week, but I have made it a goal of mine to commute every day until the end of the school year (which is the 27th of May). So far I'm doing really well. It really doesn't take much longer than driving, and once I've gotten into the habit- I'm much better at getting things ready the night before and having a routine to make it quick and easy.
    I'm loving it!!!!
