I run or cycle to work everyday here in Austin, TX. It's only about 4 miles each way. At work I keep a bag with soap, deoderant, toothbrush etc. I carry a small towel and work clothes in panniers if I ride it, or a backpack if I run it.<br />My running pack is a Salomon Raid 30 and is the type of pack used in adventure races. It holds a water bladder.<br />Some days, I leave at 5:30 am and run trails so it adds up to about 8 miles to work. I even carry my lunch and some other small items. Using a pack is a great idea. I hardly notice it. You might try it and get in two 14 mile days, say on Tues and Thurs, then alternate with cycling. You would be good to go for any duathlons in your area! Throw in some swimming on the weekend, and you could do a triathlon anyday.<br /><br />johnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
