Ever have one of those days when you think you will just pluck the head off the next person who talks to you (or even looks at you?) Yesterday was that day. Cranky husband, funky kids, long work day.... Decided that I was not fit for man nor beast until I burned off some steam. I decided that I would undertake this hill (does not do it justice) by my house that I noticed on my ride the other day. I think I will call it the MONSTER. I was determined to show the hill who was boss. After I had made it about 1/2 way up I reminded myself that what does not kill me will make me stronger. At about 3/4 of the way I was almost certain I was going to die. I did not give up, my legs did, I blame them. I ended up getting OFF my bike and WALKING it up the last 1/4 of the hill. SHAME!!! I rode home, crankier than ever, and opened a bottle of wine. AHHH, now thats better. I am totally goint to kick that hills *** tonight!!!
