August 27, 2012: Bike to Work Day

My first day at school for our professional development days.  Since my school is only .89 miles from my house, I thought I would help the environment and my body and ride to work.  However, I had 32 picture books I needed to bring to school, along with a large posterboard.  I loaded them in my saddle bags and pedaled to work.  My bike was a lot heavier than I had anticipated and the ride took a lot longer than expected.  I was almost late to work, arriving tired and very sweaty.  I am sure it was a great first impression!
