Topped 8,000 total miles for the year during my morning commute and I earned every mile of it with a stiff headwind the whole way. The temperature was about 15 degrees warmer than yesterday but it felt colder due to the wind and wearing less clothes. We are supposed to have rain for the next 5 days but the weather forecasters around here tend to exaggerate. Hopefully it will just be spotty showers so I can get in at least one more commute this year, as I am taking off work the last week in December.
