just commuted for the first time in 2010 this morning!!!!
found out it's only 12.23miles to work (but i'll take the longer, safer way home (16-18mi)).

man i feel AMAZING!!!!!! it was tough rolling out of bed at 4:30am and having to cycle in a knee brace is crazy annoying but i did it and can't wait to keep doing it!!!!
i've felt like such a fat, lazy, useless bag of rocks ever since a skiier ran into me from behind and tore my MCL but i'm healing up and finally back in the saddle!
cycling in new gear (Xmas presents FTW!!!!) is suuuch a morale booster too!
it was a GORGEOUS ~54*F ride, averaging just over 18mph WITH all the stop lights!

man i'm on cloud 9 right now! (lol i just googled "cloud 9" to find out exactly what it refers too lol)
