Pushing the kids in the stroller, it was really hot (that's what we get for going in the middle of the day) but we got several errands done too. (Gas conservation baby) Will be going out for a 10+mile bike tonight.

10 mile bike ride (49min) as promised.  Felt good and hard but still so different from running.........
