Some of you may know that I live in Bremerton ... but work in Seattle... so I take the ferry ... then I take bus up the hill to work...  I NEVER walk up the hill...for numerious reasons... the main ones are the hills killed my knees and I would sweat like a pig!

Fast forward to yesterday... the bus never came.. I think it was snow related (even though there wasn't any snow in Seattle) ... so I saw several people start walking up the hill... so I started walking too...  As I was walking up the hill ... I realized that my knees did not hurt... and it felt good to walk.

While I did get a little winded..... I DID NOT BREAK OUT INTO A SWEAT!!!!  I was so happy... I think I am going to walk up the hill at least a couple of times a week!

CONGRATS HELEN! I remember those hills, and they are killer at times! What a wonderful victory for you!
I can't wait to get back to work Monday (in Bremerton), and start my walking group with my staff....We will be truckin' all over town!

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
