It finally happened on my Week 32 hike! It was SPRING! High near 70, sunny, breezy, perfect. The flowers were blooming, the birds were singing, and the river was sparkling. I would have really enjoyed myself if I wasn’t coming off a fresh wave of...

Look a little closer. Yes, that’s SNOW on those leaves. In the picture I took on April 10th. I could complain about Spring taking it’s sweet old time arriving, but that would be arguing with reality, so why bother? And in truth, it was a GORGEOUS...

Aaahhh, Week 30! A balmy Spring day in April! Not. More like wind chills in the 20’s, but hey, it was sunny! And eventually it got a little warmer. The wind was pretty strong though…I was actually a bit nervous about tree branches (or whole trees)...

I had a lovely hike today with my friend Val. It was kind of fortuitous that she was there because I had some nasty old beliefs rear their ugly heads in my brain this week, and it was good to have someone to process with and remind me of what’s really true. I...

Remember how last week I was all excited about the warm temperatures and pronounced “Spring is coming”? Well, of course it’s coming, but I was SUPER disappointed when I went out for my hike this week and the temperature was in the mid-thirties. Talk...

It was so beautiful today! Especially for February…60+ degrees. Great to be hiking in a T-shirt this time of year…and even better for my calves and my quads, the snow was all gone this week except for a sad little melty lump here and there. I feel like...

Week 24! It was good to get out on the trail again…and it was 60 degrees! IN FEBRUARY! That doesn’t mean all the snow had melted, but it was definitely easier going than the last time. I had a lot to think about on today’s hike. Earlier in the morning, a friend (shout...

The picture above is where I spent my Week 23 hike. Today I woke up with a raging sore throat and thought to myself: “Maybe hiking in 18 degree weather is not the best thing for my body today.” My brain answered right back: “But you COMMITTED. 52...
