Filipino Expat Chronicles - The Uphill Struggle

It has been a month since I embarked on a leisure biking trip. This one is special, because I had my brother come along.


We took the Fish Creek route to Sikome Lake - took us like an 45 minutes from entry to destination.

A person hauling a croc?! Inflatable, that is. LOL


Me and my brother. We went north following the Bow River's west bank...

... and then south following its east bank. One of the hardest part we encountered is the steep uphill sections on the southbound Bow River Path. We had to stop at the crest of the uphill to rest for a while. But lo, what a wonderful view it was!

Just like in life, we all have our obstacles. We would feel like "burnt-out" and would like to quit. Well, it is normal to feel tired after exerting effort to your endeavors, but don't quit. Just look at yourself, and lo, what an accomplishment! You have gone a long way battling the difficulties - that is what makes you glorious.
