I was still feeling pretty beat up yesterday - lack of sleep for the last several days and a brutal physical therapy session, so I fell asleep early.

Today I got out on my bike. I tried to follow a route I found recently on bikely.com, but pretty quickly started missing turns, so I didn't quite follow the trail I had intended. I did take about the same course, and I did about the same mileage, give or take - but of course since I wasn't starting on any point of the trail there was a little extra mileage to get to it. I had to stop a few times and check my location on my iPhone map and see if I could get myself back to the trail I wanted to follow. Then I finally joined up with trail I was familiar with, and it was smooth sailing the rest of the way - to a point.

I'm pretty sure I neglected to consume enough calories in the morning before I went. After a total of about 19 miles or so, I was really feeling like I had run completely out of gas. But I kept on pushing through, at a little slower pace, and finally got home.

I'm already eyeing a route for Monday - looks like as the route is plotted on bikely.com, it's about 33 miles. I'll be adjusting it slightly for my start and end points.
