Normal distance for commuting by bike?

I'm curious to see how many other crazy commuters there are out there. My current commute varies between 26.5 - 29 miles (one way) depending on my route (short & hilly or farther but flatter). I've figured a way where I bike in the whole way and then take the train partially back so that I end up doing almost 40 miles a day.

In the eyes of other commuters, how does this commute rank? I know there's some commuters in my area (North East NJ) that go a far way by bike, but I have yet to encounter someone with a 25+ mile commute.

I used to go round trip, so almost 60 miles a day, but I found that I'd arrive home burnt out and wouldn't have too much energy for much else.

Pretty happy to have 40 miles now
