My morning metro ride from Judiciary Square to Rosslyn gives me a head-start on my work-out. Each morning I walk up the sometimes seemingly endless escalator at Rosslyn, tallying about 86 steps before I've even had my morning coffee. The extra steps help get me moving and also make room for a Reese's peanut butter cup in the afternoon-plus I get into the office about 5 minutes faster!

I don't live close to Metro, so it is a bit more work to go on a reduced car diet. I can take the 15L Metrobus in the AM or the ART bus to Rosslyn or Ballston. I Metro or take the 23A Metrobus to Crystal City. Then it is the Metrobus 9S. It is a bit of work, but no parking woes!
