Well....it's been a few weeks and I continue to get in at least 3 days a week of commuting.....weather being the deterring factor. Like you said EKW, I found myself contemplating longer routes home using the mapping site you shared. It is a great tool. Mapped a 4 mile trip home doubling the mileage on the way home. It should only increase my time by 15 minutes. I'm sure it won't be long before I am increasing that. Thanks for the advice and motivation all.
