I figure commuting will help.

I'll park about five miles from work and bike in, then back after work. Doing that for a week, which is longer than I want, will help wake my legs up and prepare for whatever it is I feel is next. I keep moving my parking spot further away and before you know it I'll be able to do a full commute.

Hopefully.
