And I woke up at 4am anticipating the puppy wake up ( while she slept soundly). I'm tired and cold and cranky (wah, wah) but I head up anyway. Proud of myself!
And the ideas! Nothing makes them flow like getting outdoors and making my heart pump. Yes!

3. Getting to do the hill after 2 weeks of puppy tending.
4. My strong body's response to the challenge.
