A year ago when a snowshoe was suggested, I asked how difficult, how long, and was very apprehensive about whether I could complete it. Understandable. I had no gauge at what I could or could not do. Each adventure was to test my ability - I was starting with nothing, so I was timid when it came to a new trail.
Would this trail be too much for my physical strength and agility?
How would my body respond?
How painful would it be to push muscles I hadn't used in years?
Now, after a year of tromping up and down hills, on snowshoes or hiking and biking, my skill level isn't what first comes to mind.
I no longer feel that I am too weak to tackle what the trail has to offer?
My confidence in my physical body has changed.
I love how far I have come in one year!
Instead I am looking forward to what we will see, where we will go and to breathe in fresh air and hear the quiet of nature.
To spend fun times with ladies as we move, stretch and challenge our bodies!
Oh, and the great sights we see!
In one year, you can change how you see yourself, life and each new adventure!
The hills haven't changed, I have!
What will this next year grow in me?
