I drove to the Park and Ride and then set out. I wore my arm-warmers but probably didn’t need them. I was a bit on the hot side, even though it was only 7 am! I was feeling really good on my bike ride in. It was quiet on the Springwater Trail.<\/p>\n I biked on the waterfront and saw they were setting up for the Blues Festival. I used to love going to that every year!<\/p>\n Morning Stats<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Time: 37 minutes<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Miles: 7.92<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Calories Burned: 332<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n For my mid-morning Snack<\/strong> I had cottage cheese and some blueberries. Calories: 118.\u00a0<\/em>I ate my snack about 30 minutes earlier than normal. I was SO HUNGRY.<\/p>\n During my lunch break I went for a walk. The AC in the office was on pretty high and I spent most of the morning cold (crazy, I know). The walk was nice. It wasn’t TOO hot outside yet. I walked just under 2 miles. I tried to stay in the shade as much as I could. I estimated I burned between 50-60 calories.<\/p>\n Lunch<\/strong> – Two slices of ham with cheese, mayo, mustard, spinach, and Craisins rolled up.\u00a0<\/em>Also had some yogurt covered pretzels. Calories: 328<\/em><\/p>\n Snack<\/strong> – Guacamole with yellow and orange peppers and baby carrots. Calories: 116<\/em><\/p>\n It was a hot ride home but not too uncomfortable. If I kept moving it was okay. I created enough of a breeze. But dang it, when I stopped to rest or drink some water it was HOT.<\/p>\n I was feeling pretty good on the ride so I decided to keep going. Instead of going directly to the park and ride, I kept going up the trail towards Johnson Creek. I got to a bridge over a nice, cool creek and stopped in the shade for a moment to rest before turning around.<\/p>\n I think I might be ready to start biking from home…I think! We will see. Maybe next week I will give it a try. Here is the afternoon ride (with that little bit extra):<\/p>\n![\"bike1\"](\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bike11.jpg\")

\nI passed OMSI and was biking up the circular “on-ramp” to get to the Hawthorne Bridge and some runner was running on the wrong side of the path and almost crashed right into me as I was climbing up the ramp! Ugh! So frustrating. We almost crashed but she jumped out of the way just in time. Which was good because it’s kind of a steep climb and I was clipped in to my pedals and there was no way I could have unclipped in time. Thankfully I didn’t fall over.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nIt was a good, slightly humid, bike ride into work. I was a little bit slower this time and didn’t burn as many calories as last time.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
