I had the pleasure of leading and participating in our second group hill training session.....my love of hills stems from the fact that it requires you to be completely in the moment - listening to your breathing, propelling your legs one after the other when they are screaming at you to stop, basking in the glory of a full on effort once you are at the top. Most of my day is spent planning meals, planning outings for my kids, and looking to the future when life will become less of a roller coaster. But while on the hill, it's all about me, my body, my will. Yes, there are moments during hill training when I attempt to go outside myself in order to not feel the pain in my legs, to instead visualize myself at the top, arms up, a satisfied smile plastered on my sweat streaked face. And at the top of the hill are sweet moments, made even more satisfying when I get to look around at my group and see the smiles of satisfaction on their faces. Nothing I quite like more than a heart pumping workout done with friends.
I read a quote this week that was related to weight loss and it transcends very well to the hill training we did last night or any of life's challenges: "If you kind of try, you will kind of succeed, but if you REALLY try, you will REALLY succeed".
It's all about options folks. Enjoy your success!
