The Tank

Faced my fear of hiking in the cold today!

Working at the airport has really helped me over come this fear.

Planes have to go out regardless of how cold it is.

Many mornings it’s well below zero and we are out there getting things ready to go.

Well if I can be out working in the freezing cold why can’t I go hike in it?!

I always tell myself that it’s too cold and it will be so miserable.

But surprisingly if you dress appropriately it’s actually WARM!

It did help that my 9 year old woke up super excited to go hiking in the snow!

He overheard me telling my wife last night that I wanted to go hiking.

He woke up early to make sure I didn’t go without him!

It was so much fun and I’m excited I got to start my hiking early this year!

Last year I hit 160 miles in the mountains!

This year my goal is to hit 200 miles in the mountains!

There’s plenty of days where I don’t feel like showing up.

I do it anyways.

Life has been crazy lately but if there is one thing that always keeps me sane it’s pushing myself physically on a daily basis.

Not only does it keep me healthy but it calms me mentally as well.
