This hike was less difficult than I thought, given the elevation is 1,570 in 15km. Maybe I am just more fit this summer? Maybe my perception of what “difficult” is has changed the more I hike? Maybe I built it up in my head to be so hard that in reality is was not as bad? Or maybe it’s a mixture of all of these things. In any case, the human body never ceased to amaze me. The fact that with practice and repetition it gets stronger, faster, more capable. And the mind! As time goes on it changes it’s perception, adapts to its constantly changing environment. It tackles new obstacles, that it previously would have deemed impossible, with ease. Honestly, the more I live, the more I feel like the sky really is the limit. And I kinda love that.
