Cycling

With the weather being so nice lately, I decided to get out of the house and do some biking!
Since my legs (especially my right calf) weren't feeling great after last night's run, I mapped out a shorter route on Google maps and asked Google to calculate how long it would take.

32 minutes.

I've always thought that Google underestimates your speed for driving and walking... I would have thought it would have made the same mistake for cycling.
But 8.6k later, I arrived home exactly
...32...
minutes after I had left!

I blame this on the wind tonight. I started out slow, but after 5 minutes I warmed up and maintained a great pace....Until I hit Prince road!

There isn't any sidewalk on Prince so I had to use the bike lane next to the cars, but I felt sooo slow because the wind hit me from the front with full force. It lessened a bit once I turned off that road, but the last half probably dragged my time down.

It was fun to get out for a half hour and feel my heart rate go up :)


Enjoy your thursday nights - TOMORROW'S FRIDAY!!! :)

  2. It was warm enough here as well to take the bike out! It was nice. And I feel like I never win anything either but lately I've won twice! So who knows! I hope your knee keeps behaving for you!
