I'm starting to bike to work! By starting, I mean I biked there once for a Saturday event and I biked for a regular day at the office for the first time today. I've done a fair amount of biking to the busway to shorten my daily travel time, but I hadn't done the whole 7.3-mile trip before. (Biking the whole way doesn't shorten travel time much at all, at least not with the leg muscles I currently have.) I'm still planning to be a weather wimp, but bike commuting at all feels like an accomplishment! Woohoo!
I've also kinda sorta taken up swimming (like, a couple times a month). I still apparently think I can breathe water, and I'm not quite to the point of particularly enjoying it, but what I do enjoy is seeing myself gain a skill! I'm not a fan of doing things I'm not good at, so I have to force myself. But, with that in mind, I have a whole list of other skills I want to learn.
*ahem*
Skills I want: Spanish-English interpretation, permaculture, graphic design, web development, drawing, ballroom dance, sight reading, playing an instrument well, bike maintenance, driving stick, tennis, conversational German.
