I realize that every day is an opportunity to get stronger, faster, and better; this is especially true whenever I am getting ready to train for an Ironman, as I am doing now. Something that I have found particularly helpful is to cycle while commuting to and from work. The office is roughly 18-20 miles (one way) from my home, which gives me a great cycling workout roundtrip as part of my training. This not only helps the body, but also cuts down how much I drive per week, and cuts down my fuel emissions on the environment.

*Something also very helpful that I have found is to keep an extra set of toiletries and clothes at the office. This way after showering off in our company gym, I have all of my business attire, and can tackle the day feeling fresh and clean.

* Another idea to consider is to drive to work one day with your bike, bike home, and then bike back the next day to return with your vehicle
