Hiking in the snow sucks balls. Every step feels like 5. You're sweating and freezing at the same time. Your feet usually get wet. And you never feel like eating the food you brought because it's just too cold to eat. It's a sure bet you're probably going to go alone. Ugh! WTF.

But hold up. You got up, you got to the trailhead and you're getting to the top, even if you're not gonna get there with the whole group. And when you get there and crack open a cold one at the top of this tall ass mountain, you realize that if you can do that, you can probably do anything else you put your mind to. I want to give a shout out to my homegirl Jessica G for encouraging me to talk about all the bullshit it takes to actually get out and make shit happen. How sometimes, you ain't in the best shape , but you shouldn't let that stop you. Word.
