Still had a good amount of snow this week. Enough that I used those spiky strappy things on the bottom of my hiking boots. The whole hike was kind of like walking in deep, soft sand. As I write this, my quads are STILL screaming. I felt SO good on this hike...

Well, it’s been a week since monster winter storm Jonas hit Baltimore. I was anxious to get back out on the trail for Week 21. It was supposed to be sunny and not too cold on Saturday, so I set my alarm, dressed in layers, and added traction attachments to my...

Well, here we are at Week 20 of my 52-week hiking challenge. To celebrate, the Lord decided that it was time for Baltimore to get the most snow in recorded history in a 24-hour period. The picture above was taken on Sunday, the day AFTER the snow stopped. All the...

Week 16! Kind of a cloudy, dreary day, but the standout feature to today’s hike was the eerie silence. Usually I’m surrounded by a cacophony of bird calls – this time of year, that means crows, blue jays, black-capped chickadees, tufted titmice, sparrows,...

Finally! A hike with a little snow to help get me in the holiday spirit! After last week’s 72˚ hike, the cooler weather and light dusting of flakes did a lot to put me in a more Christmas-y state of mind. Which brings me to my topic for this week…the...

So, it’s the middle of December here in northern Baltimore County, and yet, today I hiked in a t-shirt. And even then I was pouring with sweat. Thanks to our good amigo El Niño, we hit a high of 72˚ here in the Baltimore area. Not very December-y. It...

So the last two weeks I’ve talked about blazing your trail…setting up intentional reminders around you to help you practice new (more positive) thoughts about your singleness. This week’s hike was kinda funny because I ended up with a perfect example of what happens...
