I couldn't agree more.
I just don't get why what I do doesn't work. I guess I have a shorter commute than most--6.5 miles, but even if it was a bit further--why bother? I want my half hour of exercise. Shortening it doesn't help. I feel safe and comfy as is and I have no pixie shoes to mess with.
(I like the pixie shoe comment.)
