...the time of year I start losing motivation. The weather is getting colder. The day is getting shorter. My backpack feels overstuffed with clothes thanks to the varying weather conditions from morning to night. The wind seems to be in my face both ways. I stop caring about my average speed (probably not a bad thing). I'm not putting forth a full speed effort, not because I can't but because I don't feel like it. Strava is boooooring (actually it has been the whole time, seems like a chore). My route is getting old and traffic seems to bother me more than usual.

How is your commute feeling? It's starting to feel like a chore for me after 6 months of commuting.
