White Mountains Guide Day Twenty-Eight

Today felt like the first time since I started this venture that I might actually finish it. Every hike up to this point has felt like a preamble until today. Today felt real. It felt like I won’t get cancer again in a week. And although the route wasn’t by any means easy, I could do it without struggling. The last three hikes were a struggle. I needed a day like today to boost my self confidence and bring me back to a place where this goal felt worthwhile.
