Twelve hour day

Posted on December 27, 2012 by buggsli1

Posted on December 25, 2012 by buggsli1

Futile? Vanity. Quadriceps burn, like chilli oil injected, and veins pulse. Grey muscles, ache like legs ever pounding psycho marathons but no finish. Just dotted lines, re-written targets, over shoulder, then empty. Only forward makes sense, at least to us, … Continue reading →
