When I started hiking I wasn't on the trail I am now. I started on a trail that is considered Moderate level, that was one day.
Keep in my mind my brother I was my motivator in the beginning of this all, and I was still in breastfeeding mode, so I had to squeeze exercising in between feedings. Oh yeah! I was determined to do something!
Well the next day I went we hit a different trail labeled easy/moderate, and then went on a trail that is Considered by ME moderate and a lot of other people Moderate. After two days of doing that...ugh, I wanted a CHALLENGE!!! The highest peak was in the mountain reserve kept staring me in the face, taunting me.
Well I took this challenge in full force, and my brother was thrilled. The first day we hit that trail he was flying up the mountain. While me, the bigger and slower one. Was breathing hard and turning red, LOL. It was July mornings twice a week when I was started doing this trail(the summit trail Difficult/Moderate). Guess what I stopped at 100 times about every 10 to 20 feet, it took 1 hour just for me to go .45miles, yikes slow! But I did it! It may not have been to the top of the mountain but at least I made it somewhere. My motto "I don't care if I stop hundred times, as long as I get to where I'm going. I'm happy."
Every time I'm on that trail I think of the ultimate goal, the peak, the top of of that mountain. I haven't made it there yet, but I'm close now and it's exciting!! .25 miles from the peak so far! :)
