How Was Your Commute Today?

[pfunk12]

I did a bike commute today. I knew that there was some wet weather coming in the evening but the weather reports were saying it would start after dark. Nope. It was a wet, cold ride home.

I left the office at 2:30 and it started to rain just as I walked out the door. They were way off with the forecast because I, like you, thought that the rain was going to start later in the evening.

I hate you both, Pfunk and Slug.

I actually attended a 5K training session hosted by our Fitness Center today (along with a gait analysis and shoe recommendation from a local running store).
I'm am SO not a runner, but they're doing a 5K on April 1st. How's that for an April Fool's event...me running a 5K????

Please tell me your iceberg is melting! The warm weather, the rain...there's hope...isn't there?

Awesome about the 5k!

Speaking of warm weather, have you seen the forecast for this weekend? Temps in the 50's ... YES! I'll be outdoors all weekend, riding most of it.

There's a woman I often see running in the morning wearing a pretty sizable pack so I think she does a running commute. I sometimes see her on a bike. She always seems to have a pained look on her face. I hope you are having more fun than she.

*snort* I've often wondered if people I pass on my commute notice the look on my face, especially when the weather and temperature and my mood is sub-optimal... If so, I hope they all caught a look of the huge silly grin on my face yesterday!

I'll be running! HA!! (ROTFLMAO) (more like waddling and stumbling)

P - Yes, glaciers in the sun are totally gone. Glaciers shaded by those great big hemlocks are not.

OK- I'm going to be a big ol' baby here. I've been commuting pretty faithfully this winter, but I've decided I'm tired of cold so I'm not going to commute any longer until the morning temp is at least 40. I always get weenie towards the end of winter, but this year I've just had it.

I know how you feel. The 4 years I've been commuting, I've biked all through winter. I actually do ok during the coldest part and then it starts to get a little warmer and I go all "I don't wanna". This winter is different, maybe because we have this beautiful little heat wave! Most of February was ABOVE FREEZING and now it's March!

Not much longer, Tri Girl. We're nearly there!

I know about weather woes. We're supposed to have a 50% chance of rain tonight, so I drove.
and I have to decide if want to ride tommorrow or go to my club meeting. It's getting to be more like a marketing presentation, so i'm leaning towards riding , but then i'll miss my buds, as we're supposed to get another storm this weekend

I just signed up for a 5K on April 1st. I thought an April Fool's Day run was appropriate!
Help me, mamma!

My commute today was gorgeous!

The sun was just rising, the air was balmy and smelled so good. All my flowers are blooming and the daffodils were glowing in the diffuse pink sunlight. Birds were going nuts, singing like crazy.

The ride to the bus station was smooth. Very little traffic. Wheeled my bike into her bike locker, chatted with a neighbor who drove there to catch his bus.

The ride home was fairly dark, but again little traffic and balmy cool spring air. My brakes squealed like mad. The pads are old, so I figure it's time for some salmon Kool-Stops. To heck with trying to get the glaze off, I want new pretties!

Yep, gotta love spring commutes!

Glad I'm not drinking my coffee right now because I can't stop laughing.

Hey 7 - instead of trying to shovel that iceberg so you can commute, maybe you can chop down the hemlocks so the sun isn't obstructed? Kidding...I like trees.

back in the saddle (seat) today!
Note to self: Kenda Kwests don't like wet pavement

[tangentgirl]

Fun, quick ride today! The nice city/parks people even cleaned the sand and rocks off of the bike path I take after last night's rain. They don't always do that, and it gets messy quick.

[Biciclista]

it had just sprinkled before i got on my bike so the street was wet. It was 50 degrees and light out! wooo!

Spring is springing.
