Hills are my friend

What did Jenna entitle her blog entry the other day? "Meh..." Oh man,I am so tired, but I am motivated beyond belief. Running hill repeats yesterday after my major swim-strengthening workout just about had me curled up in the fetus position afterwards. I was so ready to sleep! LOL! But, holy crap, I feel strong! Like my Mom would say, "Strong like bull!!" Hahahahaha!!

Only two more days of hills --- I can do this! Today is biking, and tomorrow, my two week hill stint ends with a bang: Weights with Charmaine, then a swim immediately afterwards, followed my running hill repeats while she bikes alongside. WHOOOO DOGGGY! Then, I'm off to stay with Susi for the weekend!!!!!! Can't wait to ride the "Road to Nepal" and her special "Lochend Loop!" It's going to be a great change getting some long rides in now. :):):)

I am so happy!!! Exhausted, but happy! :):) :) :)

Hahahaha!! Good point, Susi!! I guess the difference is that I won't be trying to charge up them like I'm being chased by a rabid skunk... LOL!

There are no hills at IMC are there?? Just two passes separated by flat!!! ha ha I was bugging Greg yesterday that he can turn left at Osoyoos first and do Anarchist since IMC doesn't have enough. Maybe you should do the same, hmmmmmm? You can climb that one, descend it, then cross over the valley and then do Richter. hee hee.
