Saturday...I woke up early, to the sound of the rain. There have been times when I’ve been caught in a storm on a trail, but I’ve never voluntarily hiked in the rain. I poured my coffee, found something appropriate to wear and hopped in the car. The parking lot was empty, which came as no surprise. I walked for an hour, turned around and walked back. I didn’t see anyone.
It wasn’t particularly comfortable to walk in the rain for two hours, but I did it. We all have places (physically, mentally and emotionally) we’d rather not go. Lately, I’ve been challenging myself to go to these places.
On the drive home, the sun peeked through the clouds. It turned out to be a pretty nice day after all.
