I biked into work this morning, What a great way to start the day.
I live in the suburbs and work in the city and even now that I am "slim, trim and in shape", biking to work has always seemed like such a daunting task.
"There is now way I can bike that far, it will take me hours."
Turns out it's only 10 miles and it only took me 40 minutes. I guess there is just something mental about the feeling that the 'burbs are so far away from the city.
So now I am one of those guys who can bike to work. How cool is that?
And man did I pick the perfect morning for my first ride to work. It was gorgeous and sunny with just a slight breeze.
Now I am full of vim and vigor end ready to get things done.

P.S. I don't really know what Vim and Vigor mean and I am too busy to look it up, but it's sounds like the kind of thing people who bike to work would say so I am sticking with it.

Riding the bike to work does sound daunting. For me, it isn't the distance (about a 7 min. drive), its the change in elevation.
My biggest concern is arriving to work all sweaty. How did that work for you?
I found that once I started running distances became a lot more meaningful. I knew what 10K was in reality.
Good on you for biking to work. I should do the same.
John,
I am lucky enough to have access to a shower at work, so I was able to clean up before coming to the office.
I probably could have gotten away without taking a shower, but I am sure my co-workers appreciate it.
