today was tuesday, which is my favorite day because i get to watch conrad. he, katie and ransom have been out of town for the past week, and so we had some catching up to do. ransom's brother, david, came up with them to hang for a week or two. he came too. david likes to be active, so i thought it would be fun to ride our bikes up to bridal veil falls. what was i thinking? when i go up to the falls, it is just me, pulling me...this time, i carted conrad (who i swear weighs 50 lbs now) all the way up. i hate to say this, but by the time i got down to the trail, i was kicking myself in the butt! i knew i could do it, i just didn't want to die doing it. on some of the hills, i had people running faster than me. it was really embarrassing. when we were almost there, i started to whimper out of anger, frustration, rage and my legs hurt like crazy. plus i am the sort where i don't really like to stop to take a break...(i am stronger than that for pete sake!)
the way down wasn't as easy as it usually is. the trail on the way down was really wet from the rain. the tire tread kicks the water straight back. when we got home, david and i had mud on the backs of our shirts and poor conrad had a line of dirt all over his face and head. poor thing. it was pretty funny though.
we then got to harmons and picked out some ice cream. it was so worth it. the rest of the night was me waiting for my legs to stop throbbing.

I do this type of thing all the time- and usually it ends up being worth it after the soreness wears off. Pulling kids behind a bike is hard- they instantly feel like they gain weight.
Way to go girl! One thing you're not is a guitter. You've got spunk and determination and I sure am proud of you. Love you :)
I got a chuckle out of my comment..a guitter??? I meant a quitter :)
