It sounds like we are about in the same boat. I just started about 2 weeks ago and ride 18 miles round trip to work. My butt was killing me the first few days and it seemed to be more than just getting used to it. Turns out that while my seat height was good it was set too far back, I moved it forward about 3/4" and magically the pain stopped.....needless to say I am definately a believer that bike fit means everything.
As far as my burning legs....I think it's punishment for for being a marshmellow for too long. Starting week 3 and they burn as much as they did the first day....but now i get to work 5 minutes faster.
