I share this thought that struck me whilst running (I still can't believe I'm saying that). I set out and run lightly and nimbly (yeah, right) down a slight incline which I barely acknowledge as not being dead flat. However, to my shock and horror, upon my return this has morphed into a monster incline - actually, it's turned into a mountain! Where are my sherpas? Where is my oxygen? Why has nobody set up base camps? But . . somehow I struggle up this virtual sheer cliff, only to be overtaken by someone on a motorised scooter. Blimey !

I know! It happened to me and the scooter had the number plate Speedy1. I had a right old chuckle.
Keep plugging away at the hills and you'll quickly get the measure of them. Well, when I say "quickly" I mean er um "soon" sorta thing
Happy running!

Haha! That's funny. Even mountains become hills after a while.......
Been there done that, amazing what we didn't see before we started to run that were there all along 😊
The phrase is "character building " 😆

I'm still at the stage where dropped curbs become hills on the homeward stretch haha

He he.
All slopes are inclines and all winds are headwinds.

I'm sorry to be picky, Dunder, but are these not just euphemisms for runner's grumbling ammunition?
