Left 1/2 hr earlier than usual this morning for work. What a difference! Less traffic, rode a little faster and my time showed it. Shaved more than 30 seconds off my usual commute which is only 2 miles and I never felt like I was stressing myself. I found myself in a higher gear than usual because of the ease in traffic. Even got to work less sweaty than usual.

Yes, I'm going FREAKING CRAZY because I am starting to realize how close to two hours a day on the bike was taking away the stress of my day.......
When I work at home, I often jump on the bike and buzz over to the park for a quick ride at lunch. Then at quitting time, I do it all over again or go run errands. I end up putting more miles on than if I just commuted.
