Committment and Follow-through

[Tri Girl]

Congrats on your commute, babyblue!!! Feels so good, doesn't it?? I'll bet riding the mtn bike is a lot more difficult. I've thought about riding my mtn bike just to give my legs an extra workout. Tulsa is so pretty, and it's nice to have some designated roads to get you downtown!!

"I told myself since last summer when the price of a gallon of gas got as "high" (relative to the Mid-West) as $3.30 that if it got that high again next summer -now "this" summer - that I WOULD commute."

I told myself that, too. I started commuting again last week before it hit $3.00- grrrrrrrr gasoline...

I live in OKC, and although the only trails to ride on are at the lakes, I've had fun commuting to work (only 3 miles each way, so barely anything to blink twice at). I do notice, however, how poor shape the neighborhood roads are in. You can feel every bump in the road. And you're not kidding about the heat. Yesterday I left my backpack (and all the goodies I need to get ready) at work because it was sooo hot and I didn't want that on my back. It means I'll have to pack my work shirt in my jersey pocket tomorrow, but who cares? Oh- and thanks for the reminder to wear sunscreen. It always takes one little burn each year to remind me to put it on.

I hope you keep having fun commuting!!! One less car is always a good thing...
