    I'm not going to lie, it's awful, every step is like "why the F am I doing this" but you get to the top and it's the most amazing feeling.

    Congratulations!! I have been hearing about the Grind for years but have never actually done it...and since I am now recovering my strength and endurance after having leg surgery I'm not going to be able to do it for awhile.

    I gained lots of weight during the last couple of years because of my leg injury and am just now able to start exercising a bit more but am still dealing with limited mobility. I can totally relate to having achieved (or in your case having blown away) your goal - I felt the same way when I was finally able to do 25 minutes on the exercise bike!

    Your hard work is obviously paying off!

    Everytime I go away I miss B.C., I need to feel that big hug the mountains give me everyday :)

    That's awesome. And there's no way I could do it right now without dying, but I also wouldn't have been able to do it last time I was thin without dying, either. You have to be in actual good shape to do something like that. Clearly you are!

    DOOOO IT!!!!! lol

    It sucks every step of the way but it's so worth the feeling of accomplishment at the top. And since walking back down is prohibited, once you get to the top, you're done!!!

    It was a bit wet today, some rocks were pretty slippery, but it should get better from now on
