I suppose I am, but that's surprising seeing as how the vast majority of people I encounter in my life are too lazy to climb one story of stairs so they take the elevator. Everyone walks slower than I'm comfortable with. People drive from one parking lot to the parking lot next to it rather than walking. They park as close as possible to the store. Pretty much everyone is overweight and has a slew of pill bottles.
I think you've got the right attitude, for the most part. You're already more active than a lot of people, and once you're fit enough that this 4-mile commute seems easy, there is always a way to make it more challenging. Keep up the good work.
