I have a sweet DH, but he does not get this whole commuting thing. It's a "Spare the Air" day, and it's HOT. I knew that when I decided to "Spare the Air" and ride in. It's all of 2 miles, after all. I'm hydrated and will carry extra water for this epic journey. But he called me just a few minutes ago and asked, "I'm leaving the office, should I pick you up?" When I told him I was fine, but appreciated the offer, he asked, "Are you sure?" "Um, yeah, I'm sure honey." 5 minutes later, I managed to convince him that I did not need to be picked up. Oh, And I would love to blame this on the hot weather and his concern for me in it - but he does this every time I ride in. When I would walk to work, he would pull up beside me when I was about half way here and offer me a ride. It kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? And it's not because he's a non-exerciser and doesn't understand. We run half marathons together every year, and he's a gym rat. Don't get me wrong, I really do appreciate that he is looking out for me, I just think it's funny - a bit wharped in a sweet way, but funny.

Anyone else deal with spouses, friends, coworkers who think you're going through a nutty phase and need help?
