Easy 10 miles yesterday

The fog and cold quickly became clear and warm.

Easy 10 miles yesterday.

Almost 8 miles to Granite Park Chalet. Two water runs at 1/2 mile round trip each plus other mile wandering around. 

We reminded each other that we were “commuting” to work. 

Insanely surreal. 

Luck is preparation meeting opportunity.

Not enough hours in the day?

Hit the trail around 8:30AM. Destination is Oberlin summit.

Not enough hours in the day?

This is a long-term challenge only you can solve.

Habits, rituals, structure, processes, priorities.

Keep it simple.

Focus on the basics.

Here’s an underutilized motivational success factor: envision your future life thriving with enough time each day. Envision your life without a solution, as well as your challenges compounding over time.

Hoped for versus actual

Airport candy shop sign.
It was a fun moment.

What i hoped to do yesterday and what actually happened fell apart as the day progressed.

Hoped to stop at Smiths grocery and get some healthy choices, then stop at Cabin 20 to pick up the supplies (and bear spray) i stored there three weeks ago. Drive 40 minutes up to Logan Pass, park, and hike Mt. Oberlin. Finally, drive 20 minutes down to Rising Sun, check in and have the Mountain Man dinner.

Things were going according to plan until Logan Pass. The wind chill, but mostly the late time of day, had me cancel hiking.

Dinner in the restaurant morphed to boiling water for a freeze-dried chicken gumbo meal. The gumbo was not good.

Back on track, closed the day with a bullseye 9:00 PM bedtime.

Sleep trumped exercise yesterday.

This sets up today rather nicely.

When is smiling easier?

My smile signals that i figured out how to add video and sound. When i joined the meeting on the phone, video and audio was disabled and initially i couldn’t figure out why.

When is smiling easier?

When we’re surviving day to day?

When we’re thriving day to day?

Being physically fit facilitates thriving.

Common sense, not common practice.

However, you can and should be one of the exceptions.

Happiest hiker

If you zoom in you can see Granite Park Chalet.

The happiest hiker in Glacier is anyone who makes up their mind to be the happiest they can be at any moment.

All day.

Every day.

Every trail.

You don’t have to be happy on the trail. Or, you can be the happiest hiker on the trail. Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore, a simple salutation for example. Saying hi to everyone you pass will bring joy to you in ways you never knew were possible.

My research has shown that only 1% of oncoming hikers say hello, but 99% respond when you initiate a hello.
