Today's the day... who needs a car.

Time to get serious. It was up @ 6:00 this morning, the backpack had
been packed the night before, it was on with the shoes, a cursory
stretch of the legs and calves, and I was off to work. I've ridden the
work plenty of times, but this was my first attempt at commuting by
foot. The first couple of km's were hard (as they always are), but
after the body was convinced that I wasn't going to stop, I settled in to
rhythm.

The cool air and morning light over the bay was worth the pain. What
is about 11.8 kms to ride actually took me 10.8kms (63mins), cutting
through the parks and reserves saved me about 1km in running. I
arrived feeling great, now all i have to do is run home tonight. :-)

Happy Trails.
