So my school got the week off school this week, we call it ski week. I took the opportunity to get ahead on training for the upcoming track season. Besides feeling like I just went through a surgery that involved ripping out each of my muscles, making them lift weights, and then putting them back in, I'm feeling pretty worn out. I think the guy in this video expresses what it feels like to come to the end of this week. You only have to watch the first few seconds to know what I mean.

Today, me and my friend went mountain biking. Oh by the way, it has been raining and it did rain while we were biking. After riding up hill for about 20 minutes on pavement, we came to the dirt trail and proceeded to walk our bikes down a steep hill. At the bottom, our wheels were caked with earth. We spent about ten minutes cleaning our wheels and then started to ride. We had to stop and push our bikes every once in a while, laughing through every bit of our precarious circumstances and I compared him and myself to oxen. One should really appreciate the work done by the various yaks of the world.
I'm looking forward to the track season; my first meet is next Saturday. Stay tuned for pictures of the spike shoe I'm considering getting for the season. Can you guess the name?

poor thing. How could you bike with such achy muscles? IT made me laugh to think of you feeling like oxen. I've felt that way before.
