i made it 20 ft farther up the hill!

[ColleenT]

ok, so it's not a big milestone, but i really pushed myself and i got up past my marker and went another 20 ft. it was a proud moment,b/c it means my work is paying off. i can't wait to keep getting better.

[Haudlady]

Great! It sounds like it is a big milestone to you, so don't knock it!

I know just what you mean. I love those moments when it just seems to come together - I can do it, I can do it... I DID IT! :D

[mimitabby]

I'm excited for you!! I know how happy it makes me feel when I do better than the last time. Celebrate every accomplishment!! It will keep you excited about riding. Way to go!!

[ColleenT]

thanks for the encouragement. it is very exciting. too bad winter is right around the corner. I'll Probably be fit by winter. but i have my trainer and i can do it when bored in the house.

[Cassandra_Cain]

Well done - every little bit counts you know! :)

[Denise223]

Keep at it, my friend!

Peace & Love,

Denise

There you go. :)

Very happy for you. You gonna celebrate?

[MomOnBike]

Well, I think an extra 20 feet is pretty neat. That's 20 more feet of a good downhill :D <-- imagine bugs there.

[pooks]

I'll bet I couldn't go up that hill -- not any big hills around here so I'm sure I have NO hill ability! Way to go, girl!

[ColleenT]

umm. yeah i rewarded myself with a cookie. :(.. but i need to eat more since i'mburing more calories, right?LOL

[eclectic]

Whoo hoo!!! congratulations :D :D :D 20 ft on a hill can be alot!

I have one hill I ride up on every once in awhile. I always had to stop at a certain spot, get my breath and strength back before I could make it to the top.
It was miserable BUT was the hill that I learned the most on, it taught me how to shift and pace myself. Finally one day I made it all the way up!

Keep up the good work :D

Yeah, it IS a big milestone, in fact! Every improvement is a milestone.
Congratulations. :)

Just want to add to the other voices... every foot... every inch... every centimetre... thay ALL count

Well done Colleen - most excellent

[ColleenT]

i am so proud of myself today. it had been raining all week, so i got on my trainer and rode while i watched a video, today i finally got out. i got about 60 ft past the original point. i was so thrilled. i love seeing the progress. i honestly did not think i would, b/x when i have gone to the gym, i never saw much progress. now if only i could have some toned legs, i'd be all set.

[Bad JuJu]

Keep on spinning your...self up that hill and I'll bet you'll get some toned legs, sure enough.:)

[Bikingmomof3]

You are doing so well and your legs are working on getting toned, give them time. :)

[esther231]

That's wonderful!!

I'm just starting to work on hills in some organized fashion. They are tough and I think you're going to be one heck of a rider when you get off those hills. You're doing the hard part first. :)

[ColleenT]

thanks. i really have no choice living in the mountains. you either go up, or down. some of those downhill rides are scary!

[esther231]

It's not going down hill that scares me. I like going down them. :)

It's getting up the darn things that I find frightening. :p
