Hey everyone,
Today, I feel proud of myself for 2 reasons:
1) I just got back from a camping trip with 5 other co-workers who I didn't know that well...and I managed to pull it off without having any major anxieties...and even if I didn't score any major social points with most of them, I'm still happy I was able to pull through
2) On Saturday, I managed to hike with them to a mountain top called Cirque peak while carrying a full backpack weighing at least 50 lbs (Everyone else was carrying small bags...the reason why I ended up travelling heavy is because I thought we were going 'backcountry' camping so I packed a tent and sleeping bag plus ample supplies, but instead, we were just hiking to the top, then back to the cars to the campsite where I could've kept my stuff). Anyways, it was one of the most strenuous physical exercises of my life...and yet I managed to do it. It is a full 1.2 km (3/4 of a mile) vertically from the beginning to the end, and it took us 8-9 hours to finish the hike.
By the end of it, my shoes were torn badly and my ankle, after twisting it 8 times, was rubbery and very fragile.
I am proud and happy...I feel like I proved to myself that things that look impossible may not be unconquerable; I remember the first time I looked at the peak and saw how steep the climb was, I was certain it was impossible with all my weight...but I showed myself!
