1.) 8:00 getting ready
Man, what a beautiful day I am so ready to go on this hike. I've got snacks, water, the right gear, first aid, what possibly could go wrong?
2.) 8:30 heading towards the trail
Oh god did I remember everything? *proceeds to check pack the hundredth time for everything* ok yea I'm good, but oh man those clouds aren't looking too nice, I brought a rain jacket right? Gosh, I shouldn't have chosen today for this hike...oh well, I'm basically there already
3.) 9:00 beginning of the trail
Psssht what was I talking about, this is a great day. Birds are chirping, sun is shining, my thighs are so ready to take this on. Oh I should probably drink a bit, hydration is important!
4.) 9:10 start of the mountain
Oh ok, the ground is sloping uphill, did not see this coming, was this on the map? Oh well, the top is basically right here, be there in no time....hydration again!!
5.) 9:45 30 mins climbing
Oh god, I should NOT have packed all those snacks, they're just weighing me down. And omg do I have to pee?? It's only been like 45 mins?! My thighs are actually killing me, is it time for a break yet?
6.) 10:30 still climbing
Yup definetly gotta pee, oh that tree looks inviting
7.) 11:00 almost there
This is defiantly time for a snack break, what the heck was I complaining about before, we need these snacks...energy is so important! Also, we've gotta remember to keep it under 5 or over 20...some experienced hiker told you that at some point, didn't he?
8.) 11:45 break?
Oh shit, should probably get to the top, omg my leg looks red oh god did I step in stinging nettle omg maybe poison ivy? Ughhh nature.
9.) 12:00 summit
Why the heck was I complaining so much? Gaia is beautiful and I could do this every single day. I love nature and the world and my life. Omg I'm so lucky to be living on such a beautiful earth. Also, you defiantly deserve a break. HYDRATION
10.) 1:00 nearing the end
That was not bad, I made it to the top I'm almost down and I would definitely do that again...maybe, probably. Yay nature!!! I could totally hike every day, Appalachian Trail, come at me!
11.) 1:30 done with the hike
Oh god by legs are KILLING me. Is it acceptable to go to bed at 2:00 pm? It should be, I'm dead. See you tomorrow Gaia...
12.) next day
oh god did I get hit by a truck? I don't think I can get out of bed today.
