I set a goal at the beginning of the year to hit the goal of 100 miles on the trails. Little did I know that Covid would surface and that many things would ultimately derail throughout this year. This past week the weather was a little more forgiving than 2020 as a whole has been. I managed to hit the 70 mile mark this past week ( including a 4 mile hike I failed to record in my stats). I have debated whether I could get the last 30 in before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve. Today the news forecasted a “crippling” snow storm for our area this week, so it seems unlikely I will be able to squeeze them in if the trails are covered for some time. I felt it would be best to post some of my final footsteps of 2020.
I think as humans we like to contain things in timeframes…as if on New Year’s Eve things are magically going to change. None of us know what next year will hold other than regardless of the Covid situation, everything just looks a lot different, and some of it may be permanent. Here’s to making it to the finish line this year!
