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.

Wow, you got slower and slower. Usually people get better the more they do something.

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.
