WAY TO GO!

There WILL be 'hiccups' along the way, and days when you just CAN'T, for some reason -- but now, it will get just that much easier EVERY DAY!

Consider yourself high-fived....

EDIT: OK, I had to come back and share a little more.

I started serious commuting in 2000; at the time, I was on a POS Huffy rigid, 18 speeds and fat tires. I'd named it the "Green Monster".

One day in January, a few days after a snowstorm -- streets were clear, but I wasn't ready to ride some of them, like the one next to 'the epiphany' -- I was riding in, and came to a plowed pile of frozen snow about 30" tall. Riding around it was possible, but I said, "Aw, WTH", and went OVER it.

And I FELT it; missing for two and a half DECADES, and there it WAS! The FIRE, the JOY, the CONNECTION that I'd lost as a teenager who turned away from the bike for the f'n car. I've never looked back, and finally went car-free four years later!
