PM1: 48.6-mile ride. HR 156.

Went the length of the Macomb Orchard Trail to Richmond and back. It’s a very nice paved trail. Toward the end I was bonking. I didn’t eat a big enough lunch and only ate a Kind Bar during the ride. I was pretty spent at the end and while getting gas my quads started to really hurt. I think both were cramping. So, I drank two sodas, had a small bag of sea salt and vinegar chips (Kettle Brand, the objectively best chip), and a bag of beef jerky and headed home. I texted Megan to say I wasn’t going to run, but she was still home when I got back, so....

PM2: 4 miles w/ Megan, averaged 10:12. HR 154.

My legs felt okay. Standing on concrete all day and trying to run is worse. HR was quite elevated. I drank and obscene amount of Gatorade.
