PM: 8 miles, averaged 7:57. HR 146.

It was 65 or 70. Just absolutely beautiful, though windy headed south. I kept the pace pretty steady as I wanted to get the full loop in before going to get the boys. 

Night: 120' on the trainer. 220W. HR 133. 

3 x 15' Sweet Spot

I still wanted to get in my bike workout. I slept in and didn't get it in, so I got it in late, which wasn't ideal. I got dinner ready for Megan and after the boys went to bed I got on the trainer. Energy was decent, but as soon as I tried to push my legs were super heavy. I struggled to keep my power up. My HR was very in control, but my legs did nothing. That is a tough time of day to try to do a workout, so I didn't worry about it too much. Right around the upper 260 to lowe 270 watt range. I was hoping for upper 270s to low 280s.
