You did it
(oh, and hills don't hate you. they love you and want to be very *close* to you so you can fall down them... takes lots of practice to avoid their clutches)

Yay!!!!!!! Doesn't it feel great!
One thing I have found that helps me when I am trying to get up a big hill and find I'k running out of steam, is ....and don't laugh at me... I have a song/chant that I use.
In the movie Finding Nemo, Dori the fish is always swimming around singing "just keep swimming, just keep swimming" It has a catchy little beat to it. Well, when I start struggling up the hill I start singing to myself "just keep pedaling, just keep pedaling"
I know it sounds really silly but it really helps me out!!

Thank you all for the encouragement. I'll have to watch "Finding Nemo" again soon- your song suggestion sounds much more positive than what I usually mutter to myself when I'm going up. I just can't wait for the day when I start wondering why I ever thought that little hill was a tough one!
