Alternative Transportation
The cost of gas has pushed me over the edge. As a result I decided to make a change. I can't control the cost of gas, but I can control how often I drive. So my goal is to drive my car less: no more than 2 times Mon-Fri and once during the weekend. It's possible to get out of the house without having to drive each day.
This week: Monday I ran 3 miles with the twins in my neighborhood. Tuesday I drove to McKinley Park ran 4 miles, walked 3 miles, and meet some moms for a picnic/playgroup. Wednesday I drove to drop off and pick up Brodie and Lucas from the babysitting/playgroup co-op. I did at least 3 errands before picking them up, and then drove back home. Thursday I ran 7 miles with the twins from my house to the bike trail along the American River Parkway and back. Friday I rode my bike with twins in tow to the Breast Feeding Moms Group at Busy Bees Studio and back home. So far I'm on a roll.

That is awesome. Gas prices are insane, so if you can do the cycling thing during the day with the boys, that is fantastic. One of biggest laments my husband and I have is that because we have to drop/pick the girls at daycare, we can't do public transportation or bike to work!

That's AMAZING! As always, you're an inspiration to me. I was asking myself yesterday as I was doing errands around town. "Is this something I could have done on my bike?" The answer sadly is yes. It just takes a change of mind and habit to get out of the car and on foot or your bike. Thanks for the nudge!
