Wonderful commute this morning! It was cold...very very cold. First truly cold morning we have had which makes it feel even colder (upper 30s...lower 40s by the time I got to work). I fortified my morning coffee with an extra ingredient, ate some breakfast and bundled up! I generally enjoy cooler weather because it means I get to wear dressier clothes, but the flip side is I have to carry more weight. It's character building. I left a little later than I had been, shortly after 8...so while in the shade it was almost painfully cold (starting out) when I finally got in the sunshine it was quite pleasant. Traffic has normalized again as a lot of the roads are back to being open (minus the ones that got washed out/sinkholes).

I'm glad I didn't wuss out and opt for the heated seats. I have been sore lately and spinning the cranks seemed to take away a lot of that soreness.

On top of all that, late Friday the city finally lifted the boil water advisory! So now I can have coffee also at work and refill my water bottles.
