We started at 5am and didn't finish until 7:00pm. It was a long day but the sun was shining and it was really windy. This challenge has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. When I got to the top, I was so surprised at how overcome with emotion I got. That I was able to complete this challenge even as I sit and write this still surprises me. I am overweight and would never consider myself athletic, but hiking has changed and is changing the way I view myself and my body. I am thankful for my body being strong and carrying me up mountains. I feel strong because I am learning mental toughness and that I am good enough to climb no matter what comes my way. I feel strong and feel I can finally call myself a hiker! If I can hike these mountains, I truly can do whatever is placed in front of me. Thank you, thank you!!!
