Deflating My Spirit

For the last 14 months I thought the distance between where I live and HGA was about 14 miles. I thought the distance to my girlfriend's house was about 10 miles. This morning I learned from google maps that my exact bike route to work is 10.5 miles. This makes the latter distance about 7.5 miles. So much fo thinking I was biking a lot furthing than I actually was!
