I got up too late to bike to work - which is too bad, the weather was perfect for it.

BUT

I bussed my bike to work and will bike home rain or shine. Ideally not rain, but we'll see.

I talked to a guy in the locker room - he mentioned that he biked back and forth to work every day, but found even when he was used to it, all he wanted to do when he got to work was sleep and recover for several hours. I have been experiencing the same thing so far - I have to wonder if the difference in the long run is either be eating right, or planning training to enable the body to deal with it. A non-changing commute every day in and out sounds like a sure fire deal designed to put your body in a rut... I'm not close to the point where I need to worry about stuff like that, today I just need to ride home.

I'm shakey-cravey for food. I didn't bring snack food today so instant oats it is.

BIKING HOME
Turns out there is a trail that follows 520 from right before marymoore right to where I work. convenient.

From work to the bottom of the ginormous hill in seattle (where 145th would meet the lake)
1:06:40
24.4 average km/h
27.08 k

Entire trip (lost of walking in last few k)
1:37:52
20.2 average
33.18 k

so yeah, the last 6k took me 31 minutes.
