Tuesday night my roommate Kelli and I took off right after work and headed to Spencer's Butte to get a little exercise before some friends came over for dinner. We made it to the top no problem, and enjoyed the beautiful view of Eugene at night. I have not seen that view for a long time, made me really appreciate where I live. We then of course had a photo shoot and headed down the Butte. There was a point half way down where the path folks and I naturally, with out thinking twice, took the path to the right and Kelli following closely behind stopped me a few steps in and asked if that was the right way. I then realized I had no idea if it was, that I just started going that way. So Kelli read the sign and told me it's the other path we were supposed to take. So I listened to her and head down the new path. About a mile and a half down, we finally realized that we were not on the right path.... The one I choose was the one we were supposed to be on all along. So, embark hike number 2. After we made it to the split we ran down the Butte jumped in the car and made it home in perfect time for our friends to be there and a pizza just being pulled from the oven
"Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave... And it wasn't long before I actually wasn't afraid."
