One of the few things I resolved to accomplish in 2023 was to fight my depression with one of the few physical activities that brings me pure joy (and often wheezing): hike hike hike. In fact, I committed to complete 52 hikes this year. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.
And since I’ve already completed 10 Conqueror challenges, I upped the ante and signed up for a bunch more, including some muuuch longer routes. All with selfish rewards when I complete them: English Channel and South Downs Way? Fly to London to connect with Raquelita. Marathon to Athens? Chillax in the Greek Islands with Raquelita. Great Barrier Reef? Return to Australia and annoy my sibling. Amalfi Coast? Trip to Italy to eat all the food and annoy more family.
Do I have a job to afford this? No ma’am. But I do have savings. And yolo, right?
