Never again

Today my friend Nick texted me asking if I wanted to go biking with him. I figured it be better for me to go biking than to sprint with my quads acting up. KJ agreed and I met Nick at the fairgrounds. The plain was to bike fifteen miles down highway 38 which is around where Suomi Hills are and go back. What a lie! We biked to Marcel  Which is twenty-five miles down 38. I'm going to assume you've never been down that far, and you don't want to. It's all winding curves and hills. It's dangerous driving down it and painful biking. I'm seriously surprised that besides near frost bite, feet swollen due to cold, muscle cramps, chafing, and the fact that it was freezing we didn't run into trouble. The bike out we had a pretty good pace, and were joking and talking, having a real good time. On the way back, not so much. We tried in the beginning, but those hills and the cold got to us. The hills! They are terrible! It's constant up and down. We completely under estimated it. We should've turned back at 15 miles or better yet at 10. It was bad. The last ten miles were the hardest of them all and it was mostly flat with the occasional hill.Really the only things that kept us going were thoughts of food and heat. By the time we got back to his car we were both in considerable pain and couldn't walk right, mainly due to our feet. We may have shed tears of happiness.

We went straight to McDonald's. Neither of us has been there in over a year and only went there to get something greasy and to completely ruin the workout. It worked. We each had 2 double cheeseburgers, split a large fry, split a chocolate shake and he also had some type of caffeine.Nothing has ever tasted better. We were in Nirvana. Nick is taking a shower, which he called the shower of Nirvana. I would, but don't think I can make it up the stairs a second time and am therefor going to stick with a pile of blankets and the couch. I can't wait for our 200 mile bike trip!

My view for just about the entire trip.

Random bits and pieces of stuff

WARNING: There are a lot of pictures While biking with Nick we stopped at the Continental divide, and as we stood there trying to figure out how to tell the other that we should turn back this bike adventure hurts, we heard some snowmobilers. The sound alone was enough for Nick to launch into a rant about snowmobilers, who he, I now know, hates. Well they came up behind us and crossed the road a few feet away from where we were. For some reason there was a large group of them too, I mean since when do they don things in groups? Anyways, as soon as Nick says "They're a bunch of d**ches!" the biggest one goes by. He stops, shuts off the snowmobile and starts walking towards us. We freaked out! I was thinking "Holy fudge knuckles! He heard him!!!", just as Nick says,"Let's go South!" We headed South. Fast. The reason we went South was because it's take us away from the snowmobiler, and farther away from town. That's the reason we kept going,...

Fun?

I was invited to go to a party. By a senior. BOO-YA!! So Jake and I went. We all mat at the basketball game Side note: We won, after going into overtime and almost a second overtime! The boys  are now going on to either section finals or section quarters.  Then we all went bowling, which hurt my ankle, so that now this morning it's all in a fit. We bowled until 11pm and then went back to Sidney's house were Spencer asked Marly to prom! Aww. There was a huge banner and everything! Once things called down everyone  headed in for food, well Jake, Kali and I already had. Hehehee. How does Cathy manage to make everything taste so good? We played Dance Dance Revolution 4, messed with each other and ate food. Jake and I should never play Dance Dance. We're not the best and look awkward. The entire time I missed my "group", my close friends, the one's who know me, who I actually hang out with. I normally don't hang out with the people who were there, some of them ...
