The Hill

I live on top of a hill. Every day I go up or down this hill for one reason or another. Buying groceries, doing intervals, going to training... There are two sides of the hill. One is a driveway that is short and steep and requires a really small gear to pedal up while carrying a backpack full of groceries, and the other side is the Lonesome Pines downhill area. This hill can become rather annoying (I can wait another day to go shopping), but in reality it is a really great thing. Being surrounded by quality terrain makes you a better athlete. Like most things you work for the least enjoyable parts make you the best. You have to suffer through the bummer parts to achieve success. For example: Doing 150 chemistry problems; definitely not fun, but getting an A in chemistry; pretty sweet. SO he next time your hauling yourself up a ridiculous hill, or pushing through some nasty intervals or homework remember, you need the hard/boring/seemingly pointless work to achieve success. It's as simple as that.
