I spend lots of time walking through my neighborhood.  It’s a nice place to walk, the only drawback is that there are lots of hills.  When I first started walking, I made the mistake of trying to navigate the hills by taking long strides.  It turns out that taking long strides on a hill will actually cause you to slow down.   I now realize, through many miles of trial and error, that taking small steps is the most effective way to reach the top of the hill. 

Encouragement Always.
