 I could see how it would be
 in the back of your mind if you grew up with it. I hate driving up to
 Lake Tahoe at night, when the temp gets below 32 I imagine black ice on
 all of the bridges (which ice up first).

 I lived in an area we called Baja Pacific Heights, and I used to run up
 the hill and back down to the Marina, down through Golden Gate Park to
 the beach, and over the hill and across the Golden Gate Bridge into
 Sausalito. I got used to hills.

 I ran one of my usual routes with a friend who ran on the flats in the
 peninsula and he was out of gas at the first hill - didn't realize how
 hilly SF was until he ran it!
