Hill workout day.


I love this quote from a blog I follow:
"When I was a kid, I liked nothing more than to run down a good hill.  Remember when you used to do that?  Your legs would start going so fast, you weren't sure if the rest of your body could keep up.  You couldn't stop...you were already in motion.  

The only question was...would you be able to catch up with yourself or would you end up losing your balance and rolling down the hill until things evened out?

Life is motion and sometimes it moves so fast it's hard to keep up.  But there is always a leveling out, whether you're able to run the whole way or you find yourself rolling to the bottom.  Either way, you usually find yourself lying in the grass, gazing up at the sky, and catching your breath for a moment.

And then you run back up the hill and try again."

Today is my hill workout day. (6 x 1/4 mile hill repeats).  It will be fun, it will be fun, it will be fun.

"The ability to delude yourself may be an important survival tool."--Jane Wagner

It has always worked for me.
