I’m not sure if I’ve ever told you this, but when I married my husband, I got lucky. Like, really lucky. Yeah, yeah, everybody should says that. 

One big reason: He’s inspiring.

One tiny example: Today he biked 72 miles. Just cause.

So the situation is that he works 36 miles from home (undesirable, sure). It usually takes about an hour each way (driving) but he usually gets to work from home two days a week so that sort of makes up for it. Well since it’s the Twin Cities Bike Walk Week, why not just bike to work one day this week? 

So, he woke up at 4:30 am and 2.5 hours later, he made it to work. 

Then he proceeded to work a normal 8 hour day. 

Next, hopped back on his bike and made it back home 3 minutes slower. 

He said the last ten miles were really difficult. He had a good wind at his back and got going fast at first. He used a lot of his energy right away and got pretty tired. 

He was home by 7:15 so we went to get a beer to celebrate. His goal is to get 100 miles. The difference will be doing it all at once rather than breaking it up with an 8 hour work day I guess. 

It’s inspiring to me to think, huh, what’s a personal goal I want to accomplish?
