Just under 2 miles up the mountain, I knew I was done. Huffing and puffing while climbing hills is a fairly normal, if humbling, thing for me. But this was different. This was “I don’t think I can power through” territory.
I don’t think you failed at all. You were out there and trying hard. What a blessed pupper to have a Jodi to fight for her. Keep on keepin’ on!! If I have learned anything when I “fail” at something, it is to fail forward. You are already thinking about future hikes. Keep taking us along on your adventures. I might even wonder outside someday. I really want to go to Hawksbill Crag…
Beautiful words as usual, Jodi! So very happy to see you in the Substack community. I am active on commenting, not so much on publishing, but I’m so pleased to see you have joined the company of those whose words give inspiration. Glad to have the chance to catch up on your cool adventures and your beautifully expressive journalism.
