This resonates so much. I just finished my first marathon, New York City last weekend. And a feeling I felt was that if a bystander had run through the finish without actually training for the race and without doing the race, the finishline feeling wouldn't be the same. We need friction. The struggle is part of the journey!

This one hit particularly hard after a recent career blow. And also… now I want to head to the climbing gym

I've often mulled over such thoughts while out hiking--on those hikes that require more concentration...and a few leaps. So good to see this put together as you have, and how this thinking/being connects with the the non-hiking/climbing life. Thank you!
