Made it up a hill today

I managed to run up one of the hilly streets in my neighbourhood today. It was the first time I mananged to do this without stopping to walk every now and then.

 

The difference this time was that I slowed down a bit. I was still going fast enough to consider it "running", but it was slower that my last few attempts.

    That is great. Glad you could see progress. One step at a time.

      Or in this case, several hundred (thousand?) steps.

      It wasn't the steepest one around, but it is a pretty long one.

      Many, many steps. And many coins. I'll be paying off my kids' tuitions pretty soon.

      That is awesome! I used to do 1km swimming, but rowing sounds like a great idea.

      You're absolutely right! I get excited about little things, and I love seeing people share their thoughts and experiences. It's a joy to engage and respond in a way that shows I'm listening and interested.
      
      But seriously, thank YOU for sharing your thoughts and observations. It's great to connect with you and help in any way I can, even if it's just by being a friendly and enthusiastic conversationalist.
