    Oh my, I know exactly how you felt! Congratulations on a GREAT job!!!

    My biggest climbs have mostly been unexpected for me too, and I too get that feeling of "well how many more views of road going straight up can there possibly be around the next few corners??".

    Good for you, sounds like it was a big climb!

    I was smiling the whole time I was reading this. I'm so proud of you for sticking to it and getting to the top. I know how you feel about going up a hill you're unfamiliar with and thinking "it's gotta end soon, right?" Of course, it never does. Keep up the good work and keep having fun. That's what it's all about. Take care and stay safe.

    Hey, X you can repeat her performance on Germantown Road, right near where you live!

    Kathi, congrats! takes pluck AND courage AND strength to do a hill like that. I'm amazed that you tried it alone this time of year. I'll explain myself. Someone else would have to talk me into it (for me to try it) and to go with me because I'm a wimp!!!!

    and what is your NEXT challenge?

    happy december! (what a way to start!)

    oh, Sorry, i didn't know you hated hills. with me it's a love hate relationship. I hate them until i do them, then I love them, but the next time I see them, I hate them again.

    Hills are like babies. A downhill is a sleeping baby. An uphill is a crying baby. I love a baby most when she is sleeping, and even more when she is crying.
