The countdown is ON, baby! Just six weeks until the hike, and I am beyond excited. This is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I’m staying laser-focused on my training and health — no injuries, no sniffles, no excuses!
This Week’s Wins:
I crushed all my workouts! One day I couldn’t make it to the gym, so I swapped machines for dumbbells — and let me tell you, I’m extra sore (in a good way). The real highlight? A 12-mile hike on Saturday with a dear friend who reached out and said, “I want in!” She joined me, and it was amazing. The miles flew by, we caught up on life, and it reminded me how special these moments are.I also tackled Purgatory Chasm — rocks, twists, turns, and a little challenge thrown in. But hey, that’s what training’s all about!
Shoutout Time:
I want to give a huge thank-you to my friends at Biohaven Pharmaceuticals. They’ve been incredibly supportive of me and the Ataxia community. They’re doing amazing work — and I’m proud to call them friends. Their dedication to patients and families in clinical trials is inspiring.Final Thoughts:
Stay focused. Keep chasing your goals. Wishing everyone an awesome week ahead. Let’s keep pushing forward. See you next time!
