11/27: Hill walk

The route with the mondo hills. Every time I walk this, I feel like I’m going to die while going up Mountain Climb Dr. I swear I’ll never walk this route again. Then, I get past the hill and…everything feels so easy and smooth. I feel like I’m flying (well, a limpy old lady version of flying). By the end of the walk, I’m happy and glad I did it. That’s pretty amazing considering how screwed up this walk started: I dropped my phone 3 times before even starting and my fingers were purple because I’d forgotten my gloves. Plus, my feet were getting numb. It wasn’t that cold out. Darn Raynaud’s Syndrome!
