"Never attack a mountain, instead, let the climb come to you. "

I have to say, this is the best advice! Last year I struggled terribly with hills and of course living in New England, that is all there is!!

After reading that and thinking about what I do, I realized that I was attacking the hills and trying to hard! By relaxing and just taking a nice steady easy pace the hills that were killing me last year suddenly seem so much easier to me!
