Leaning too much on Handlebars

So tonight I went for a ride of about 16 miles (may be one of the longest yet) and I noticed that I was really leaning hard on my handlebars is there anything that I can do or adjust to change this? I noticed that my neck was also beginning to get sore also. I did recover pretty quick which was a surprise but I am sure my legs will be hurting tomorrow. I have a Cannondale Bad Boy and got it fitted at my local bike shop. I am thinking I have to raise my handlebars but that is just a total guess.

This ride was my first time on a bike path and what a zoo that was between the walkers and the dogs it was crazy. The reason I hit the bike bath was because where I live there is too many hills and I get tired before actually spending much time on the bike. I tried today to downshift and to keep pedaling when I got tired so my legs were always moving. I only stopped once to get a drink of water which was cool usually I have to stop multiple times.

Thanks again for any help you can give me about leaning heavy on the bars.
