My Commute

I tried commuting to work on my bike yesterday with some success. I made it to and from work without dieing. It was actually nice to get into work and already have a nice workout. The trip into work is about 10 miles each way which isn't too bad, but there is no path into work that has either generous shoulders or any sidewalk. I guess that is what you get for living in the suburbs. Thankfully there is plenty of room to drive my stretch hummer. i stupidly started home at 6:00 p.m. not thinking it would get dark by 6:30... oops. I guess next week if I do it... I need to leave work by 5:00.

since the PDR, I have been averaging in the low 20s for mileage with a long run of about 10ish on the weekends. last week was well below this because of the great flood of 2006 in my basement due to a rupture washer supply hose and a wedding on saturday. Congrats to Gina and Mike! I am running on a team with a guy from work and some of his cohorts from the westtown school in the 10k Run the Bridge across the Ben Franklin Bridge. Obviously I would like to set a PR, but I am fairly certain my fitness isn't there. I think my PR is somewhere around 42:00. I shall get back to you on that...
