Walked into Kennedy Meadows a day early (6/6). I also did my first 30+ mile day to do so. I walked 34 miles with almost 10,000 ft of elevation gain and loss. I'm not sure why I did it. I felt like I was flying high, and simply decided I should go for it. Even after that I felt I could go further. I felt so great physically and emotionally. I'm definitely feeling strong and in the best shape of my life.
The last few miles to KM were emotional for me. I feel so lucky to have made it here after dreaming about it for so long. Luck has allowed me to continue but perseverance and single-mindedness have carried me through. I've seen many others get injuries. I hope that I can be smart about how I hike to minimize injury, but sometimes it just happens.
I'll be entering the high Sierra tomorrow. I'll try to get some photos up here soon. The ones I get over the next week will be some of the best!
