Cross training

As far as I know, cross training is a very good thing. Right now, my knees hurt from biking today. That's great. Biking uses my muscles in ways that running can't, and when I bike, I don't stress out my joints like when I run. Today I biked way up into the mountains, and then sped down extremely fast. It's a good thing the previous owner of my bike put a bell on it. I almost hit a car. But the rest of the time, I felt great. I hate how the people stare at me and my helmet. Can't a girl go for a bike ride? Apparently not. The weather was beautiful and the air was so clean up there. But, once I got down to where the houses were, it stank. Like pigsties, smoke, and exhaust.
I felt victorious when I arrived home.
And then I ate a bowl of peas for dinner.
