I’m a self-professed desert rat displaced in sub-northern Virginia. While I love adventure, I’m just learning to love the cold, let alone the humidity. Whenever someone jokes that Phoenix is “a dry heat”, I jump in to remind them that it’s true, and I think I could handle 115 degrees in Phoenix over 90 degrees in Fredericksburg, VA anyday.
I work about 55 miles away from home. Never a big fan of driving, I’ve instead committed to taking the commuter train every day. 1.5 hours on the train each way, I have a total one way commute of 2 hours. That means 4 hours per day, 20 hours per week, and 1040 hours per year spent commuting. I do everything on the train: eating, sleeping, getting ready, studying, working, writing this blog, and, yes, even yoga.
