From low on the gas to full throttle!

I finally made it to the gym this weekend. Hip hip! I had a powerful 30 minutes on the treadmill, then I engaged in an hour of all-over, hearty weights. My legs were screaming by the time I crawled out of there. It was absolutely great though. Then there was a fair in my downtown this weekend so I did plenty of walking around. Plenty. That was great to stretch out my legs. And then today: the full shabang bang! I have been contemplating riding my bike to work for a long time. Unfortunately I think it's pretty unsafe (not to mention damn far) to bike the entire route. I realized that I could throw my bike in my car and bike from a (sorta) halfway point. Well, today I officially did it! I was spurred on by AA's commuter challenge for May (and by knowing what cycling stars Mart and Brit are in Chicago). It's about a 4+ mile route. Nothing that's going to gear me up for the Tour de France, but that's not my goal. I wanted to try it. I wanted to save some commuter miles. I give other people a hard time about not fitting more exercise into their busy lives, so I thought I'd take some of my own advice. Cheers!
