Sometimes I wonder how I even got to work! 11.5mph yikes. (360' climbing, 4 stop signs, 10 traffic lights in 7.2 miles)
I guess I need to start drinking coffee?!
I will sometimes have a shot or two of some strong coffee before I leave. I've been making cold brew coffee recently: I'll make it so that it's ready Sunday night, put it in the fridge and then each morning for the week (in the fridge, it'll last) have the equivalent of a double expresso (in size) before I head out.
