Dec 13th: 4x4s on Bulkley St. aka How to Not Study for Exams

Emily and I decided to take advangtage of the beautiful December weather (44 degrees and raining) and the fact that we would rather be doing anything but studying for exams, to do some 4x4 skate intervals on Bulkley St. We left Greylock at 9 this morning and received some interesting looks from the brain-fried Williams students who were leaving breakfast. What are you doing? What are you wearing? And why aren't you studying? The downpoor began just as we left but that only made us feel really hard core, and we got some bonus points when Bud drove by us. With the power of positive thinking, the raindrops turned into fat white snowflakes, Bulkley St. turned into a massively hilly ski trail in Europe, the intervals became just another day on the World Cup, and Bud was transformed into a crazed Norwegian ski coach yelling "faster, faster, faster." (The last one didn't take too much imagination). I would say all in all it was an A+ effort and a great workout. Emily overcame being attacked by a very large crazed dog and the stealing of her water bottle holder by the crazed mailwoman to finish the workout. After the last interval was finished we were exhausted, but Emily managed to find the strength to chase down the mailwoman so that she could hydrate and be reunited with her cell phone and ID card. The End. -Alice
