The Commute Time

I'm using a new movement app on my phone that shows where, when, and how fast I walk and bike around town. A little map shows where I go and when day after day. I used to think I led a life of spontaneous adventure but it turns out that my daily movements are a study in repeated patterns: home, work, gym, lunch, bar. The only surprise, which shouldn't have been a surprise at all, is that I bike home from work about 3mph faster than I bike to work making my commute home several minutes shorter.
