We went on a hike this weekend. It was only four miles, but it took four hours — we started at about 8,000 feet, then went more than 1,000 feet up a mountain, all while I carried a two-year-old in a carrier on my back.
And as we went up, I kept thinking: There’s no way I could have done this last year.
Last year, we did some hikes around Utah, but rarely more than an hour at any one time. We just got too tired to do any more than that.
But the more we hiked, the stronger and more capable we’ve gotten. We can hike stuff now that would’ve been impossible not all that long ago.
All that work opened up new doors, new possibilities.
Keep going.
