One word to describe the day: reset

I was in a funk all day yesterday. I was stressed out about things that are completely out of my control. I was comparing myself to others and feeling like I couldnt keep up. This morning I was thinking about how I can switch my mindset. Comparison is the thief of joy. I decided to slow it down and stop trying to keep up, and just hike how I wanted to hike. I took a 30+ minute break every 5 miles, right about the time my feet start to hurt. It worked out quite well! I felt the best I have getting into camp at night.

I've been hiking on and off with these two ladies, michelle from Great Britain and the Mad Hatter from Ireland. They gave me the trail name bionic woman. I'm not going to adopt it because I feel like every woman out on this trail is bionic, but it gave me a good reminder to appreciate everything I've accomplished and how good I'm doing!

We walked 25 miles today to camp at water. We had a 20 miles water carry today. Along with carrying 6 days of food! We also hit the 600 mile marker! 🤯Read more
