The catharsis happening on multiple levels. Emotional, spiritual and physical … and ultimately it all involved vomiting and pooping your brains out both physically and metaphysically speaking :p
I want to know how you figure out your meals for the day and the timing of them?
What are you the most proud of yourself so far in this journey and what are you hoping to improve upon now that you have hiked so so much?
I remember Jen Baji would send me care package boxes of Trader Joe’s to CMU when I was in college so I know her love language well! You are lucky to be her daughter, and receive her care packages. But also she’s lucky to be your badass mom and see what an amazing trailblazer she’s created (horrible pun intended)!
Teehee you’re totally right. It’s been a spiritual and literal catharsis!!
For food I usually just eat when I’m hungry which is every 2-3 hours, sometimes more freqeuntly if I’m picking up the pace. There are some days where I can eat like 5000 calories and still feel like I could chow down some more if my food supplies would allow lol. They call it hiker hunger.
And hmm that’s a good question about what I’m most proud of… I’ll have to think on that one a bit. I’d like to work on being more present in the landscape around me — the last few weeks especially I’ve spent a lot of brainspace longing for home and post-hike life.
