Just got back into hiking after an extended leave. I managed to get over 60 miles in June which isn’t too bad for me.
One thing I am noticing is how much better I feel. My life was being absorbed by my job that I started last spring, and I gained quite a bit. Anyway I realized hiking worked pretty well for me before, so I decided to set boundaries at work and give it another try. I am glad I did because I am more motivated and my eating habits are getting better.
My goal for next month is 100 miles.
Solo, well kinda. I bring my pup with me. She is probably the best motivator. I have to do this in the morning, and the 5 mile hikes mean I need to get on the trail by 6:30am. Either way, once I get out of bed she’s up my ass to get going.
Oh, this is awesome. Thanks for that. Glad you are both having fun with it. Tell your pup better be ready for the next 100 miles, it’s the 1st already!
owning a dog is a cheating/doping in steps based challenges/competitions! :)
