67.6 mile ride early. Big full loop of the valley. Similar to yesterdays ride but extended out to southern parkway and airport after coming across town. Lots of elevation change. No seriously steep climbs but no real flat either. 3,560 ft of elevation gain throughout. Kept the motor humming all morning and clocked a pretty good ride. My headlight wasn't fully charged and it went out after only 17 miles. So things got really dicey after that. Avoided a few crashes and cops. Note to self: charge it before every ride! Loving the cooler mornings. Low of 64 F. And I even saw the old running coach from the south side with his team. Good luck to both of the coaches from the circle and their teams in the meet today. 10.2 mile run. Got home and Mik'L said she was just staying in for her workout today. So I basically got to head right out. Got about 3.5 miles into the run and just started bonking... didn't eat a very good dinner last night and didn't take very many calories on the ride. So the remaining miles were really hard. Just didn't have much to give. Thought about cutting it short several places but the fool in me just did the same old loop. Hip felt pretty good though:)
