Notes: This is in addition to commuter miles. I forgot to turn my computer on until a few blocks from my house. Speed includes trip along Hammond Trail, which includes stops and starts. Airport loop is about .57 of a mile. I have no idea how the computer calculates calories burned, so take that for what it’s worth.

These numbers won’t mean anything for a few months.
