    Well today was a shorter ride than I had expected. I wanted to do close to 8 miles, but I encountered a massive hill that I wasn't expecting and it just took all I had to get up it. I finished the loop, which ended up being 3.48 miles, so I didn't feel too bad. I didn't meet my goal of at least 4 miles a day though. However, I'm dealing with some knee pain ( I think directly related to that awful climb) so it was probably better not to do the 8 miles. Hopefully I can get that in tomorrow if my knee isn't bothering me. We shall see!

    I live in flat land, and even a small bridge kills me. I think that's a genuine achievement, Munch, and I wouldn't worry about miles. Take care of that knee. Even though I've slowly worked my way up to doing quite a few miles, I think any real hill would knock me down.

    Munch you are doing well. Like Murie, I can't handle hills because I live in a flat area. Often, I just walk them because I already have joint weaknesses I deal with. Keep up the good work and miles!
