So I am out for my jog tonight. Nothing big, just thought I would jog around the neighborhood 4-5 miles. I am coming down the street and I see this friendly old Golden Retriever walking towards me with his even friendlier older human walking behind him. The owner smiles and inquires "How far?" I tell him "Only a mile so far, four more to go!" and he smiles and says "Don't skip the hills!"

I had to smile-I was purposely jogging the nice easy flat areas around the neighborhood UNTIL he said that. I hadn't planned on hitting the LOOOONNNNGGGG sloping hill, in fact I was doing everything i could to avoid it. His words kept resounding in my head. And you know what? He was right. I hate him for it, but he was right. I hit that hill, and a couple more after that. When I made it home I was all smiles and I am sure I will hear his voice every time I am tempted to take the easy way.

I should tattoo that to my thigh...."Don't skip the hills"
