Hill Topper

Day 114

My apologies for no post yesterday. We were on the road traveling to Louisville, KY for our first experience with Horse Racing. This was the opening weekend at Church Hill downs and Sitel (the company i work for) has a suite. It was a great time and I came away a winner. Yay me!

But I digress.... So, yesterday we walked to lunch. It was a good day for it. I had on flats and the sun was shining. In the past, I've not been a fan of walking to lunch because... yes.. you guessed it... there's a hill. I would always be the last one trekking up that sucker sweating and huffing and puffing the whole time. It made me feel bad about myself and frankly, it was embarrassing.

I wasn't worried when we headed out the door yesterday. That could be because one of my companions is 8 months pregnant and the other one is a smoker. I figured that I could at least fare as well as them right? To my sheer amazement, I was at the top of the hill before I'd realized what I'd just accomplished. It didn't even "Feel" like I climbed a hill at all. These little victories remind me of why I'm doing this, which is good because I'm chalking this week up to a "lost" week. My behavior has been less than stellar.

Today, we had a pretty good hike from where we parked to the track. It was a nice walk down and a rainy one back. But, who cares. Exercise is exercise.

Cheers!
