Time I left home:
Happy Rainy Leap Day! The weather was pretty bad, so I thought the strategy of leaving a bit later might help...it didn't. Luckily, there weren't any early meetings today. I was able to deal with this heavy week of traffic without problems and go about my commute. Had raisin bran and milk at home...coffee and a banana on the drive.
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
Today's commute was pretty much the same as yesterday's, however, a bit faster...I had the same breakfast and drove the same route. There were cars, and trucks, and stopping, and starting...felt a little like I was driving on a Monday and yet it's Tuesday...hmmm.
Time I got to work:
Time I left home: 
It was a very quick, productive morning. I had planned ahead and left in what I thought would be plenty of time to make it to work because of a series of meetings that were to start right at 9. I was wrong. I ended up getting to campus right at 8:59 and being 4 minutes late to the 9 a.m. meeting. Not that I would get in trouble or anything...it's just that I thought I was good to go. I had berry blast juice and a banana on the drive; coffee when I arrived at the office. Make it a good Monday.
Time I left home:
Still not feeling good, so I skipped out on Bikram and slept some more. I took my friend/co-worker out to breakfast as a congrats for all we've accomplished (mostly her). It's been a good rainy Friday. Bacon, egg, cheese on an everything bagel.
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
Another sick morning and I forgot that I had to get gas today...so, there's that. I drank mango juice for breakfast and hoped on the road towards the Costco where I've prepaid for some gas (at least that's how I see it). I don't think it really saved me any money though...
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
Still not feeling the greatest and therefore, had a hard time getting out of bed. I was able to achieve an astounding 10 hours of sleep because of leaving this late...the demands of higher ed. I'm really looking forward to this weekend...perhaps I can finally take advantage of not having to go to work (which has not been the case for a few weeks). Breakfast was once again the Green Machine...hoping to bring some vitamins into my life.
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
The cough is lingering and while I slept a ridiculous amount of hours last night, I'm still not back up and functioning 100%. I'm hoping that this week of focusing on sleep and getting veggies will help. We'll see. I ended up having mango juice for breakfast and still ended up being late to the meeting at 9 because of traffic. What can you do?
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
It's President's Day so traffic was really nice. I worked all weekend, so I decided to sleep in a bit...I'm getting a really bad cough and I was so tired from the weekend that instead of working out, I slept. I feel a bit better now. Drank some green machine juice for breakfast...I hope it helps.
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
A beautiful Friday morning commute. It was amazing. All the fog and rain and gross stuff went away and the sun was out and there weren't that many people on the road. It was amazing.
I enjoyed two eggs and a biscuit for breakfast this morning. It was a bit messy eating and driving today...I am a bit out of practice since I've been eating at home more. I enjoyed some lovely cold water on my commute to get ready for Bikram.
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
I feel like almost every night in February could become a late night...tonight is no exception. I haven't decided how to spend the time between "work hours" and "night time work hours" except that I'll be getting my run in and perhaps watching some TV I missed from the week. There's enough time in between for me to go home, but then, that's another commute and I'm not quite sure I actually want to add the miles to my already old car...we'll see. I enjoyed a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon today, coffee as well. Despite the spitting rain, traffic was delightful.
Time I arrived at work:
Time I left home:
I have another late night at work today, so I decided to stay home and work out before heading in...I also forgot about all the 9 a.m. construction that's been taking place on the beltway, so I thought it would take longer to get here than usual for the 9 o'clock hour. I was wrong, thank goodness. I enjoyed a bagel breakfast sandwich on my way in. Delish.
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
It's a running day today, so I tried to leave home early in order to run the loop around work before heading in for the day. Traffic got a bit slow around exit 22...nothing unusual about that. Running was good. I think I'm getting better at it. Bagel and cream cheese for breakfast and lots of water.
Time I arrived at work: 8:26 a.m.
Time I left home:
It was a normal, long commute today. So many things were going through my head that I had a hard time paying attention and it felt heavier than usual. I guess that's what happens when you do all your thinking on the way to work...everything seems heavy and slow. I had a peanut granola bar for breakfast and some coffee.
Time I got to work:
Day 114, I left home at:
It was not an eventful commute, however, it was a very eventful day. Hence, the reason why I didn't post the pictures then. This past week has been nutty. I'm hoping that it all calms down a bit. We shall see...
Time I got to work:
Day 115, Time I left home:
Yes, it's a Sunday and I'm commuting to work. I have work on Sundays and training for our orientation season has begun, which is why I'm commuting. I decided to stop by Starbucks to get a treat, as my workout this morning was really good.
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
I thought leaving after 9 would help with traffic. Turns out, that all the construction is starting after 9 so people in rush hour won't get mad. We had to make some quick lane changes and figure out other things...overall, it turned out okay. I had raisin bran at home before coming back to campus. These 12-14 hour days are making me tired...
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
Another 12 hour work day ahead of me, so I left a bit early so I can get a run/walk in before heading into the office and everything that is put before me. Had an everything bagel with butter and enjoyed coffee during my 10 a.m. meeting today. The exercise was good. The traffic was fine...nothing to exciting today and nothing really horrible either. Another regular commuting experience.
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
I had a hard time figuring out what to eat for breakfast today...cereal or a bagel and get on the road? I chose the bagel (raisin with cream cheese) and headed out the door. I'm glad I did because traffic was a bit slower than I expected. Fun story: A Pepsi truck and Coke truck were side-by-side the entire time on my commute. It was a pleasant surprise and I made a game out of who would win-the Pepsi truck or Coke truck-in fighting their way through the traffic. Pepsi was beating Coke at the beginning, but by the end of the commute (and near the 83 mark), Coke was winning by a lot! That's the way the world should be.

Time I left home:
I have a late night tonight, so in order to get my morning workout in, I had to leave early and believe me, that was a bit rough. Especially since I am on campus until, maybe 10 p.m. tonight, and I watched the Superbowl last night (yay Madonna!), it was a rough morning. I got up and out of the house though...ran/walked 2.43 miles in 35 minutes. Yay me.
Raisin Bran in the morning and got on the road as quickly as I could. People were a little nutty driving, but not too bad...
Time I got to work: (8:07 a.m.)
Time I left home:
It's a beautiful Friday morning commute...people were nice, the inner loop of the beltway was lovely, and Bikram was taking place in the morning. After the long week of late nights, it's nice to know that today will be a "regular" work day. Although, all these reports I have to write are boggling my mind...
Time I got to work:
Time I left home:
Yes, another late night last night. I got home a little before midnight and made the executive decision that I would be coming in later this morning. When you work a 12-hour-day, you sometimes just need to sleep. In any case, I had challah again this morning, because it's superfast and yummy. I also got gas. Good times.
Time I arrived at work: 9:48 a.m.
Time I left home:
I was at work until 11:15 p.m. last night, so I took part of the morning off to sleep in a bit. I got to work around 9:45 a.m. which was just in time for my 10 a.m. meeting. These days are long, however, are going very fast. I had Challah with butter for breakfast this morning. Simple, easy, delicious. Another long day ahead of me today...
