"If I were given the choice to hike ten miles and summit three mountains today, I'd say not way! My body physically cannot do that. I'm too sore and every part of my body aches. But no one is giving me that choice, I simply must. I can't, but I must. It's amazing how fragile our minds can be and how often we doubt what the body is capable of. Although every muscle, muscles I didn't even know existed, are screaming at me, there's something so divine about pushing through every boundary and getting to places not many people get to see. To be writing this on top of my second mountain today at 11:30 am, alone, gives me such pure, tangible and simple joy. It instills strength I didn't know I was capable of. But beyond all of that, it's a place I'm more aware and closest to God. Moments like this are undeniable."
Happy little trail markers:
Day one pains:
But the sleep was so good (14 hours):
So it begins. Day two terrain:
Day two, mountain one:
Mountain two. Where this entry came to life:
Night two sunset:
Day three:
I can't, but I must.
