When you cross several saddles, climbing and descending thousands of feet, and you stop to look back where you came from– it’s a moment of pure awe.

My body brought me that far.
And it was freaking hard.

I keep thinking I’ve had “my hardest day ever” then she gives me a new challenge.

It’s amazing what our bodies can do.

The mind is the tricky part.

It’s constantly playing games with me.

If I can find a few moments where I move beyond the fear, pain, and boredom and instead become the witness of my experience– I’ll call that a major win.
