My first 2 mi run with HILLS!!!!!

Hello all, this past weekend on Sunday the 16th of Nov/08 I was up north WI on a family vacation. 3 big moments: 1 I BROUGHT MY WORKOUT CLOTHES... and 2 I did a run in the country where there was a very long incline.. like a 1/2 mile incline. 3 It was 30 degrees with snowflakes! My first run on a family vacation, first huge hill, and somehow made myself get out there in the cold.

My family and I were driving to track out 1 mile one way so I knew where to run to (and then back for 2 mi) and as we were driving I saw the incline and we were driving and STILL GOING UP... anyway, I started to get nervous and did not want to do it. And when I think I am trying to do too much, I freak out and don't do anything. I have been very good and making very attainable goals, if not sometimes goals lower than I know I could actually do, but then increasing them. This theory seems to work for me, because I meet goal and then feel proud, then add the next goal. Any way while we were still driving, I compromised with myself while we were driving and at first i said I was only going to do 1 mi.. which would have been to the top of the 1st hill (did I mention there were more than one). But I then had guilt. So I told myself.. new compromise... I will do the whole thing... and if i need to walk at any point.. I just will walk.

Got back to the cabin.. dressed... and I DID IT.. NO WALKING AT ALL....!!!!
