I decided last night that I would try and get out and ride my bike this morning, maybe get 10 miles in for today. I did not even think about the temperature and the fact that I don't have the proper clothing for it :(, so this morning I threw on a long sleeve running shirt and my Under Armor hoodie hoping that would be enough, and my gloves for running while wearing my capris and an old pair of running shoes and ankle socks......... boy was that stupid! I was a freaking popsicle during the whole ride and I was miserable, at least 3 times I considered turning around before I was even at 2 miles. I kept going though, I rode for 6.4 miles in 37 minutes and only burned 244 calories total (dang it). I won't be doing that again, not unless I get the proper clothing, it was 37 degrees but it felt like 32 and everything was numb. My lower legs were red and I could barely feel my toes other than ice. My splits were:
Mile 1 - 6:09
Mile 2 - 5:45
Mile 3 - 5:38
Mile 4 - 6:08
Mile 5 - 6:02
Mile 6 - 5:40
.4 Miles - 2:26
My average speed was 10 mph and I felt like a freaking popsicle.
