Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

You will find for those days that you don't ride, even the short distance, you will miss it. I know I do. That morning air, before it gets polluted with car fumes, really gives me a much better start to the day...

Thanks everyone! I know I enjoyed my ride so much today, that I'm excited to do it again tomorrow. After work, my friend and I are going to do a longer ride, so that will be fun.
I just feel better knowing that I'm not adding to the crap in the air and that I'm doing something for me. I really do think I'll be keeping this up. Now, I just have to figure out if I want to commute on my snazzy new road bike or if I want to reclaim and old Trek Mountain track from my 15 yo's boyfriend and use that to commute. Decisions, Decisions!
WackyJacky - if it makes you feel any better, it drizzled on me this morning - and rain in California in the summer is very unusual. I just decided to ride through it. I say go for it! If you plan too long, you'll plan yourself out of it. Although I am making a list of things to bring into the office to stay here - like a hair dryer, just in case.Last edited by andtckrtoo; 08-20-2008 at 03:54 PM.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Good for you. It's astonishing how these "short" commute miles add up in a hurry. Not to mention how wonderful you feel on so many levels.

I'm commuting again today, but I walked in to work with my dog. I'll walk him home at lunch, and then ride back. That way he gets some exercise too.

Congrats on your first commute! Doesn't it feel like a great sense of accomplishment? People think I'm crazy because I ride so far, but you know what, it makes me feel soooooo goooood...I haven't ridden hardly at all this week because physical therapy wants me to 'lay off' for a week and work on strength (Booooooo!) and I tell you, my mood stinks right now.
Just think of all the cool packing cubes, baskets and other commuter things you can buy now!
