Thanksgiving...I know what I am thankful for....

Every Thanksgiving Seth and I try to go on a mountain biking trip...it's a great time to go play and enjoy our time together.  This year Seth was not around for Thanksgiving he had some school stuff he needed to do in Pennsylvania so I was in Sandy with his family.  Well since it's Thanksgiving I thought it was only right to go mountain biking, you know tradition of heritage...however my mountain bike was in the shop and I all I had was Seth's bike.  So Seth's the Captain, Scott, Webber, and I went biking up corner canyon on Seth's bike...well Seth only has one gear on his bike...and corner canyon defiantly has some elevation gain...needless to say I almost has a heart attack!!!!  I have no idea how people ride with only one gear and not even an easy gear...I had to stop/fall over so many times just to breath!  Oh my goodness I was crazy!  I am no where near that good of shape to handle that kind of lactic acid overdose.  The even crazier part of everything was that I actually kind of liked it...you know pushing myself that hard...even tho I hated it while doing it.  I know it's sick.  So the next day Seth's brother was in town and we had to go do the same thing...this time there was a huge problem...mud!!!  We thought the trail would have been a whole lot drier and it was at the bottom.  The closer to the top we got the muddier it became...and no one wants to ride on muddy trails mainly because you tear up the trails...and let's be honest only jerks do that...and I didn't want to be a jerk so I had to walk it up in sections a little off the trail...it sucked...but I know what I am grateful for I am grateful for gears on my bike...and good lungs...and well everything in my life...I have an awesome life with awesome people surrounding me.  I say often but not often enough - Life is Good!
