I love summertime! (Pixie)

It's been yet another beautiful day. Unfortunately I had to work 9-5, and it really cut into my "outside" time. I had the best intentions to get out and at least go to the gym after work, but after busting my butt for the last 8 hours, I ended up just going straight home. I felt guilty.
And then...Lisa called! She wanted to go for a ride. My reaction was "Yeah!" I had 20 minutes to get ready and then I remembered that Lisa doesn't go for leisurely rides. We met behind OMSI and sprinted along the length of the Springwater trail. We were headed for the cemetery just on the west side of Tacoma. It's one of Lisa's favorite spots and my most dreaded. Hills upon hills upon hills, and when I think I've had enough and my stomach is telling me to stop or I'll vomit, there are more hills upon hills. Lisa cranks up them like it's no big thing, and I just want to die.
We came out the back side of the cemetery to Boones Ferry rd to connect with Terwilliger. More rolling hills, loooooooong rolling hills, but more tolerable than heading through the cemetery. To be honest, I was a little sad when I knew the hills were done and it was a breezy downhill coast to my house (though not sad enough to go back and do another lap...).
