In 2020 I did a 100 mile challenge in the month of July.  It really motivated me to walk more for my health.  Instead of doing a bunch of smaller challenges – in 2021 I signed up for a 600 mile challenge.

I did something I was afraid to try and it was awesome to get to the top of the trestle on the snowshoes.  I was out with my husband who doesn’t think twice about making the climb.  Sometimes you have to go outside your comfort zone. It felt great to make it to the top!
