I'm a Mr. H, as well. I live in Midland and commute 3.7+ miles to/from work as much as I can manage. As it is, I just started doing the commute about a month ago, as well. Even more coincidentally, when I was in high school (many, many years ago), I ran cross-country and track (1/2 mile primarily, although they changed it to the 800m near the end of my 'career'). Small world.
