Sooo Sore

While Sara was out climbing I decided to stay home and do some yard work. I started at 7:30 in the morning by starting a small fire (my fire permit only allows for a four foot diameter fire) which burned very hot and in a counter clockwise path burned the two year old yard waste. I actually had to pull some dried alder from our wood pile to get the fire to burn because the moisture was still very high.

I proceeded to start cutting out large sections of blackberry bushes. I swear I burned down a pile of vines that was a couple cars large. I had dreamed that I would get all the blackberry bushes in the front yard and it wouldn't be too much work. Well after six hours I can hardly tell that I did any work at all. It is really just depressing. , and my body is still sore two days later.

I figured being the kind of person that likes to hike, and rock climb I should be in pretty good shape for the yard work. Apparently that is just not the case, and I'm looking forward to more rest. The last time I was this sore, I road my bike 110 miles from Bellingham to Bellevue.
