28°F looked like a low temperature when I headed out, and I saw that I would be facing a headwind, so I bundled up more than ever, knowing it might be too much. Well, it sure was, and every part of me was very warm except for my toes. I'm still wearing summer cycling shoes with cleats. I didn't feel like peeling layers off, so I just kept going slowly so as not to build up much heat.

I record all of my rides on my phone. Somehow, my phone shut down in the middle of the ride. The battery indicator said 60-something percent, and then it suddenly went to zero. Second time in two weeks this happened. I think I need to get it repaired. What a pain. So it thinks I rode only 4 miles instead of 6.5 miles. Not a big deal, really.

This week at work will be very stressful and difficult. Even the ride didn't make me feel particularly good.
