One Week of Bike Commuting

The goal for the week is to ride to work (and back) every day. The weather, although a bit chilly in the morning, is otherwise supposed to cooperate. That will put me at about 145 miles by Friday, and then hopefully another 50 or so on Saturday. That would be a GOOD WAY to get back into the groove. The past few weeks have been difficult, with the little man having some restless nights and me feeling rather unmotivated in general. This good weather and a swift kick in the pants is exactly what I need.

I met a colleague at the gym today who will be participating for the first time in the MS Bike Tour. She and her husband just started training. Apparently she commutes to work (~7 miles each way) and got out for a 20 mile ride this weekend. I was heartened by her postive and cheerful attitude, but then again, she has always been a cheery sort - certainly an asset to the Monsanto Mavericks.

Ok - off to bed so that I can be well rested for tomorrow and the commute to work!
