Sharing a car and a dog means we drive more than we would if the dog park weren't so far away from where we live (3.5mi)! I can ride the bus to work every day, and my bike in between, and other than the dog park, all the necessary amenities are about .9 miles away.

2010: For just one week, my goal is to travel just 40 miles (that high because I want to cheer Janis at her half-marathon at Lake Chabot Regional Park on Sunday). I want to see my friend's band play in Alameda Tuesday night which might mean an additional 16.6 miles round trip for 2 people in the car (or an hour bus trip each way). The rest of the week I'll ride the bus or my bike -- or walk.

2009: Mileage challenge for the month of June: 300.
"I want to see if I can spend less time in anyone's car for one month, and live my own philosophy of using public transit, biking, and walking to get around every day -- for health, wealth, and happiness!"
