Primal Stride Challenge | Five At Five | Day Two

Good morning, Striders!
First, an apology. I’ve been camping in the woods with my family. This is good in that I’ve been able to relive the frozen toes and blinding campfire smoke of my childhood. This has been unfortunate in that I haven’t been able to be around for you guys. That might be a good [...]

Confidence and Climbing Through Uncertainty

Confidence and Climbing Through Uncertainty

I feel like this a lot of the time:

This picture was taken a few weeks ago during a hike up Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. (4,000 vertical feet, 8 mile round trip) People my size (I still have 100+ lbs to lose) and fitness level don’t climb Mt. Washington. They drive their car up and [...]
