As a result- I have ten miles so far this week 😢. I fly to Pittsburgh Sunday and am not home until Wednesday afternoon, so mileage next week isn’t looking good either.

This makes me feel better about my situation. Thanks for sharing.


It is gratifying to get a ride done super early, but it’s also a pain to wake up. Pros: cooler temperatures, less cars, stop lights can be ignored. Cons: Hard to wake up, Spiders, pitch black, spiders, the one car that does pass you is possibly drunk from the night before, the rest of the day you are exhausted, stores arnt open yet, if you do crash no one is awake to care. ask me how I know.
