I think I'll hate my sister-in-law forever now. She convinced me to do the Grouse Grind (hiking to the top of a ski hill in Vancouver) with her. I don't think I made it 200m before my calves were burning and I was thinking of turning around and heading back down. However, since she is a girl, I couldn't give up without losing my pride ... 2h later, we made it to the top. It was quite a beautiful hike if you ignore the back pains, shin splints and calve cramps. It was a nice feeling of accomplisment to get to the top. Of course, my brother would have nothing to do with it and took the Gondola up with his 2 kids ... pansy.
