most of the time, you are right.
BUT THIS WEEKEND, YOU WOULD BE WRONG!
this weekend, i went camping in yun meng valley, and i hiked (and literally climbed, for awhile) up a mountain for 5 hours with a backpack as big as me (and although i'm bad at estimating weight, it was heavy. the guys who tried picking it up from time to time were all like, "wow, this is heavy!" in chinese, which carries even more surprise than english) strapped to my shoulders/waist and then lay in a cold damp tent inside a thin cotton sleeping bag till 5 AM, then got up and hiked back down the mountain and didn't get back to school till 8 PM and i am still alive and feeling GREAT!!! wheeeee
of course, i'm going to sleep right now, and probably never waking up again. slash when i do wake up i'm sure i won't be able to move my body at all.
but it was great fun! the air was so FRESH and wonderful! and the mountains were SO BEAUTIFUL! and i zip-lined for the first time in like 5 years! also, the whole time we were clambering up and down the mountain, i was thinking about how hiking a mountain trail is a lot like the christian life and how i want nothing more than to follow the Lamb wherever He goes for the rest of my life.
pictures to come!

Brave you are. Usually muscles ache in the next few days. Apply some Bengay soon; I'm sure you can find similar stuff over there. After all, they were invented by our ancestors.
