AM: 4.1 miles on the treadmill, averaged 9:39. HR 112.

I didn't get up early before the boys got up, so I bribed them so I could get a short run in while they were on their Kindles. 

PM: 2 hours 14' 38 miles @ 17 MPH. 189W. HR 127. 

Solid ride, very warm. Legs feel okay, but still very sore. I didn't bring a light because I don't have an adaptor for my new bike/bars, and I ran out of light and had to call Megan to rescue me around 9:45. She got the boys in the car and came to get me. I just didn't feel safe even though I had a tail light. It wasn't worth getting hit or hitting a tree or a deer.
