First proper Run & Cycle

So I'm picking my bike up today and the plan is to do a 5k run and end up at the bike shop and then go off for a cycle..

I have just bought myself a new phone so I can use this running software "Endomondo". It uses GPS to map where you have run and gives you detailed stats on your split times. I kicked it off and began my run.

I run to the park and don't stop. I complete the 2k loop and then half way round again.. I'm estimating I'm at 5k now so I run to the bike shop. I stop running just before the shop and buy one of these lucozade sport drinks. £1.50!! Seems a lot for some orange squash..

When I get into the bike shop they haven't done my bike and ask if I can come back later, I'm mid way through my workout and feeling totally gutted that I wont be able to do the bike part. I explain to the guy and he says they'll do it now.. 10-15 mins. I don't want to cool down so I decide to run out for 15 mins. I check my phone and it appears the software hasn't worked. It had my last run at 4.16 miles in 19 mins. I wish!! I reset it and start it again. I run back up the road and do another circle around the park. Whole thing takes about 15 mins and this time the software has worked. Ran another 2.3k on top of the 5.3k I did before.
The bike is ready so I pop my helmet and push off.. First thing I notice is with the road tyres you really feel the bumps in the road.. The bike does feel good however and I soon get up a good speed. Its very busy in town and I soon learn to navigate through the traffic. Darran was telling me I need to get out into the countryside to really practice, he was right. I keep having to stop or slow down. I push on up Pack Lane and then back round. Endomondo is now working on the "Cycle workout" and it tracked me doing 8k. The whole thing took 24 mins and my top speed was 44km/h. For my first real cycle I was happy with it. I need to get out to back roads though.. Thinking maybe Dummer way or over by Bramley..

So to summarise I did 8k run and then a 8k bike ride.. Took me about an hour and 20 but I had to stop a few times. Really enjoyed it..
