You sure that’s the exact number? Seems like something like that should be a fair bit more especially considering how fast you went.
See, and I was thinking it was going to be lower, but actually, looking at it, it’s about right, the numbers jive proportionally with my smaller trips. Plus, I wasn’t going that fast, just over 15 mph. I think it would surprise people to find out how many calories we actually burn when we exercise. For instance, you’d think walking three miles five days a week would burn a bunch, but each walk is only burning 300 calories a piece, which wouldn’t even cover the two granola bars I ate this morning.
26 Miles, 1 hour 41 minutes, 1182 calories
I did my first 20+ mile bike ride today. It wasn’t bad, except when I got home and saw that I’d burned an estimated 1,182 calories, which freaked me out considering I did the entire trip on only two cashew granola bars. I’m going to have to eat more before the next one.
I was at the beach today, and these kids were playing acoustic guitars on the sidewalk, I guess for money or something, I don’t know. Anyway, of the three or four songs I heard, they all had the same chord progression of the beginning of “Secret”. I wanted to burst in with “Things haven’t been the same…”, but I didn’t want to interrupt the one kid’s affected singer/songwriter voice, he was really laying it on— there were a couple girls nearby.
It’s Saturday Sushi night, and the humidity in New England is so stifling that this is what I plan to wear. Yatta!
