It was nice this morning to ride into work. It was quiet. I could actually hear the hum of the tread on the pavement. The air was clear and crisp with no traffic on the road. Normally my commute is choked with traffic and there is a haze from the exhaust of vehicles on the road. But not this morning. I actually took a longer route this morning than I usually do. It was a good chance to get out and test myself. It was however difficult to pull myself out of bed this morning. It was warm laying next to my wife and cat. I knew it would be rather chilly this morning as well. But I feel better knowing that I did. It helps to know that I wont have to worry about the lethargy that sets in after eating turkey and dressing. My thanksgiving consists of Ramen noodles and a power bar this year. Ah the joys of working in the healthcare industry.
