Cool!
Until a few years ago I never even knew people did stuff like this. Then I met a guy with a little dog that was working on his second round in one season. It got me thinkin' about it and since then Emma and I have knocked off 31. It's taken a few years. All the time I've thought about how do you accomplish this in one season? How do you manage this? Working all week, only hiking on weekends. Getting up at ungodly hours on your day off, driving several hours, getting out of the car in frigid temps and hiking long trails, many further than the other three seasons because of long, boring road walks.
I fantasize about retiring and trying this. Picking my days. Good weather, moderate temps. Staying nearby the night before and the night after the hike.
I don't know where you found it, but somewhere, deep inside of you is a toughness, an iron will, that got you through this. I don't think I will ever have that drive, all I can probably ever do is admire people like yourself. I should think you could face anything in life and come out the victor.
Rock on, young lady!
