I DID IT!!!!!!!!!! I decided to make myself try and bike up one of the roads that I've been avoiding due to the fact it is almost all uphill (about 2.5 miles) and I did it!!! I had to stop a couple of times and was down to my last granny gear, but the feeling of accomlishment that I had when I made it to the top was incredible. A few months ago I would never have even made it up half way.

I am just so excited I had to share it with someone and I knew you all would understand how I feel. Now my new goal is make it up those darn hills without having to stop at all!
