    Commuted to work by bicycle.

    it’s a 10 minute ride.

    flash forward 25 minute ride…just commuting

    flash forward 45 minute ride…still just commuting

    ended up at 1hr 25 minutes, then alternated with running in the winter & swimming on my lunch break in the summer (I was at a small university).

    Turns out my brain is super gullible and is easily fooled by…my brain.

      I’m glad it works for you, but I always hated getting to work very sweaty and then being smelly for the rest of the day when I biked.

        Well, I had uniforms to change into, plus locker room facilities.

        The point, really, was that you can fool yourself into getting a routine/exercise.

        Real shower if you can, French shower if you can’t. Wet wipe the pits and butt, air dry, brush hair, deodorant, and some pleasant parfum. Bring a change of clothes.

        Or you could just bike slowly and not get all nasty but who wants to do that.
