I think that growing up with two brothers and a father has made the kind of girl who constantly has to prove herself around guys both intellectually and physically. I know attempting physically is ridiculous but that's how I am. The last couple of weeks I have taken up bike riding in Richmond Park with my boy and *N* and her boy. Usually *N* and I cycle and gossip in our own pace the boys wait for us every now and then. But now I have this idea in my head that I want to beat the boys around the park... bad almost impossible idea I know, but I'm not giving up yet. So for the past week I have been going to the gym training in secret to build up my stamina... only problem is that my backside is so sore from the bikes that I don't know how I'll get around the park this weekend... have been considering gel shorts but they seem expensive... So am I gonna stop? Am I gonna give up? I don't think so!
