I miss commuting...

I realized that I don't miss much about work: (1) the laser printer, but my new job has a color one, so I can be patient, (2) Kearney, he's such as good hard working guy, smart, funny & genuine. I really enjoyed working again with him. (3) Commuting. I was just getting so I was commuting 40% of the drive and was on a role after bike month 44 one way commutes, nearly halfway to my goal of 100 one way commutes.
Not sure if I'll be able to commute to St. Stephens for a couple of reasons: (1) classes start at 8:00 AM, I'm not a morning person and it takes 40-55 mins to get there. (2) Did I mention the big hill once I get past the Penny Backer Bridge? If I did make it to work in decent time, my head would be dripping wet with sweat. MapMyRide has it as a category 5 climb. (3) at Affinegy I was able to sit in jeans, a t-shirt & a ball cap the rest of the day, don't think that can happen at SSES, but the good news is I would have access to a shower.  So I will probably give it a shot one day. But I guess with living on campus one night a week, I'll still be saving my 20%.
To make up for my lack of commutes, I'm trying to ride my bike when it's less than 5 miles away. So far I've ridden to HEB, Lowes, Peoples, Central Market, Pint House Pizza, Doctor to get blood drawn, Crumps Plumbing Supply, a friends house & to swim. I've found if I ride at least 4 miles and the timer on the Humana Fit goes for over 30 mins, I'll hit over 200 calories & get credit for exercising. By the end of July I'll cash in my points for an Amazon gift card or maybe a new heart rate monitor (in hopes that it makes cool graphs--I can only imagine the math problems from those!)
The one time I got on the road bike for what was to be a long hilly ride, well, I got caught in the 20% chsnce of rain! Oh well, maybe in another week!
