I started the year with a list of a few things i wanted to accomplish 100 times over the next 365 days. One of them was hiking. I started on March 6, when the weather and early morning light we're good enough to hike before work. Today, just over 6 months later, I finished my 100! #td_hikes #hiking #fatgirlshiking (at Wenatchee, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnl9z8uBtW1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cgy4ro0pid7f

After 20+ years in Wenatchee, I've FINALLY hiked the most ubiquitous landmark in the valley. It was a thing that I was afraid of, and the timing wasn't even remotely ideal. But I stumbled upon a group hike and just had to do it. Of course, I'm glad I did it, now that's done, but I can't honestly say I enjoyed it more than I didn't. Maybe 40/60. But I survived and now I know I can do it. So who knows, I might do it again...sometime... Swipe for more proof. And thanks Allison, for the encouragement and conversation! . #td_hikes #hiking #pnw #pnwonderland #wenatchee #ncwlove #herPNWlife (at Saddle Rock)
