I guess. I used the chance that some friends wanted to go hiking today – so we went, in the snow. Through mud and water and snowflakes and forest. It was rather beautiful.
And what a gorgeous feeling to come home and take a hot bath and feel warm again. Tea is never better. 1 month ago

got them today. sadly, hiking boots are not the most elegant footwear but as long as they’re waterproof and warm and comfy, I won’t complain :)...
got the chance to go hiking tomorrow. if there’s snow, I will go, if there’s rain, I won’t. 1 month ago

It made me feel alive. To push myself and keep moving forward no matter how much it hurt and I wante to give up. Reached the top and it wad amazing 2 months ago

There are some places in the world that draw mountain addicts in a particularly strong way. I have my own ‘Must hike/trek list’ and here it is, as a constant remainder for me of what I truly love and should strive towards. More specific locations will emerge as the planning prosess starts. The order- from most attainable for me(due to distance from home, visa requirement, cost and so on) to the ones that will require more preparation and larger funds.

1. the Alpes – Haute Route
3. Iceland + Faroe Islands
4. Scandinavia
5. Georgia- High Caucasus
5. Nepal
6. Alaska
7. Patagonia

More to come. Time to start earning some real money, i suppose :> 4 months ago

but in a good way. I finally went today. I know…a few days late but it was perfect. I’m going to get up and do it again before work. I didn’t feel the sore until I got in the car. It was 72 degrees out and the sun was shining. There was a light breeze and no snakes… :) 4 months ago

I love hiking. Unfortunately, I’ve only been a couple times in the last couple months. I was going 4-6 times a week and want to start conditioning myself again. I’m going to wake early tomorrow and hit The Etiwanda Preserve Trail. It’s only 3.25 miles, but half of that is uphill which is a great start for me. I guess a fair goal would be three times a week. More if I feel like it, but I will aim for at least three. 4 months ago
