Day 123

Today was a real test of how bad I want this (and apparently I want it pretty bad). There is a difference between being unsafe and uncomfortable and I’m very much leaning into discomfort going forward. The weather forecast was for rain and we just got a ton of it so there was a very limited selection of trails that would be safe for me to hike because of stream and river crossings. I opted for the only hike that I could reasonably complete and set out with all my rain gear in tow. The first third of the day was wet. It rained, misted, and the trail was a stream. Then, the sun came out and all was right with the world again. I’m learning how to hike in the rain now. I’m learning how to embrace the suck.
