What goal have you surpass today?

Today as I turned the corner off my street at the begining of my run today, I looked at the hill ahead of me and thought, "So glad I'm not running that today!" since I had planned on turning before the hill to go on my shorter, less-inclined route.  As I ran, I passed my turn, then passed another and found myself approaching the hill.  I gave it another look and said aloud, "BRING IT!!" (sorry neighbors).  I didn't just "slog" it, I pushed it.  I BROUGHT IT - just me and my Nickleback.  When I got to the top (lungs burning), I felt proud.  I turned to come back down, and I'm not gonna lie, I was glad I was running at a decline (my poor knee, though, geez!!).  When I came back down and turned to go my originally planned route, I looked to my left and there was another road with... yes, another hill.  So, I turned to face it and once again, I said aloud, "BRING IT AGAIN!!"  At that point, I was in unchartered territory (for me anyway) and continued to find myself running through a neighborhood with more hills than I had planned on and LOVED it. I took that altitude with attitude!!  I surpassed my goal for the day.  What goal have you surpassed today?
