 Back on the Job
I need the discipline of "work" to get fit. I had a fairly vigorous commute on bike today, averaging 12.5+mph on the round trip. ~another work benefit: Time away from the house is time away from the Fridge.
  • 5 "C4" days
  • commuter miles YTD: 91.3+/-

  • 5 round trip work commutes YTD;

    2 consecutive cycling days; A vigorous homeward effort owing to Rabbits; Chasing and catching a rabbit while being chased as one and being overtaken by a road warrior after a mile and a half chase.

    The Transportation Director (Fred) welcomed me back on the job first thing this morning. Immediately, with great embarrassment, I handed him an envelope with my request for time off in order to attend the GFLBT in June. He got a chuckle over the situation, and I am fairly confident I've got my day off approved...

    Great day driving my students around. They seemed happy to see me. All was smiles, high-fives, laughs, hugs, banter, and chatter. I am so glad to be back!
