A couple of years ago I lived in Bellaire and worked in the Heights. It took me 25 to 30 minutes to get home because of traffic on the surface streets (I left work everyday about 6:00pm). Refgal works in Greenway and lives in League City. It takes her 45 minutes to get home if she avoids leaving until after 5:45pm. If you live in the Heights and work downtown, you will not have the problem I did.
Is there a place where women DO shave their armpits while jogging? That just seems like an accident waiting to happen.

Thanks. I felt like I might have been pushing too hard because of nerves, but I really enjoyed doing it.
