So on the way to work this morning I was thinking, should my goal be to get faster and use my commute for training, or to take it easy and enjoy the ride. I decided it should be both. I don't want to arrive at work really hot and needing several minutes to cool down, but at the same time I like getting faster. So I can push some, just not much. I think this is pretty good. I enjoy my commute, and it is only 5 minutes slower than the car. For those unaware, my commute is only 5 miles.
Also, Happy Birthday to my brother. Hope the Lord has given you peace on what activity to pursue.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. The Lord always gives me peace in my hobbies, I'm just glad I still have drive to pursue extra-curriculars.
Commute sounds good. You could take it a little easy in the mornings and push harder on the way home. With the heat, you'll sweat anyway. Other idea, is maybe wear a heart rate monitor to check your effort and adjust your speed based on a target heart rate.
I thought about a heart rate monitor, but didn't want to add something to the trip. I like to keep things simple. But it is an idea to bring it with me and then put it on for the return trip. I'm not in too much of a hurry to leave work because traffic is terrible, but the earlier I leave home the better the traffic.
what is that picture?!?! that's hilarious!
I'm pretty sure it is a bike mower. I found the pic somehow and laughed pretty hard.
