Keep us posted on your progress gerv.

I just had a hill-climbing step. Two days ago, I rode up River Mountain Rd. without stopping, something I haven't done in a couple of years. It's about 300 feet straight up. Yesterday, I went back and did it again, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. What I noticed the most was at the points where I might have said, this is too much, I must stop, instead I was thinking, well, I'm doing okay breathing right at the moment, and realized that it was the thoughts that were prompting me to stop. If I didn't freak out and just remained composed, I could continue on.
