I agree, that I am enjoying the challenge of the hills now. I went out last night intending to do 25-30 miles. Once I got that close to what we know as "Nice Hill", I couldn't turn around without attacking it, so I went a bit further.
I had lost 60 lbs and kept most of it off for 8-9 years but for various reason put 20 lbs on late last year. Hopefully it will be the last time that happens.
