My most recent challenge is figuring out how to dress for the weather, especially when biking. Thursday I biked down our giant hill, to Fremont, where we work from occasionally. I looked out the window in the morning, and the sun was shining, and the sky was blue, and I was so excited by the weather, so I just went out in my jeans (w/ a leg rolled up to avoid gears), and a sweat shirt. Well. It turned out it was like 40 degrees. And that when you go downhill fast, on a bike, the air feels even colder! I got there (only 1.5 miles) and my hands and leg (w/ the jeans rolled up) where quite numb!
Then in the evening, the sun had set already, and I was worried it would be even colder. So I bundled up, w/ extra layers, and my hood up and under my helmet, and set out, to climb up the hill. Shockingly, I got warm and sweaty pretty fast going uphill, and had to take off layers... sigh. I guess next week I'll be a little more prepared.
In other news, I'm proud, because Saturday I went running in the cold, instead of shopping w/ my family.
