So rode to work this morning - 7.2kms. I got a kind of score riding down Aberdeen this morning in that a female cyclist was just ahead of me all the way, so I could kind of see what others do in certain situations on that bit of the ride which was nice. Burnt off about 430 kcals, but then when I got to work I found our bins weren't out, and the truck had just come past - so I stowed my bike and went for a run with the bin after the truck (see, I am about function, definitely not form) and ended up racking up 600 kcals in this morning's exercise session *grin*.
Off to pilates this afternoon - but I got an extra workout in by accident. Went for a walk this afternoon to pick up a gift for a friend's child's birthday, and the bike shop has moved. Moved way further than I thought. So I probably walked about 2km in the heat. Meh. Won't be using that bike shop again.
Looking fwd to the ride to uni in the morning - I will be able to see how far it is. Think I have my alternate route plotted from Leech - just duck up to Murdoch Drive and ride the cycle path all the way to uni. At least, it looks like that would work on the maps. Will need to carry a fair bit with me, so it will be panniers and a backpack to get everything there. I want to get home in time to catch the friend's with the birthday kid, but I can't see how I can finish uni at 4.30 and be home by 5.30 - doubt I can ride home as well, and can't take the bike on the train then, and can't get picked up. Veeeeery tempting to drive tomorrow - need to kit out my locker, have a friend returning a pile of big heavy books, will need to take food and buy some stuff at the bookshop, and get home in time. But no - the kid is one, ze will be more interested in the wrapping paper than actual gift. So I don't need to be there. I can stay at uni and study til I can come home on the train.
