lofty goals??

I was just wondering if anyone has any fitness goals that seemed really impossible when you were first starting (or maybe it hadn't crossed your mind at first) but now seem more attainable and achievable. I mean like running a marathon or something.

I live in Western Washington State and I was driving to my sister's house the other day and saw Mt Rainier in all its glory and do you know what I thought?? I thought, "I should climb that" !!!!

What?? I have NEVER had any desire to climb a mountain...but for some reason, I do now. maybe because I feel like I could do anything right now?? I don't know. But it really seems like something I could do one day in the not so distant future. In fact, I am looking in to what I need to do to train for a climb like that...and there's a 50 mile hike I'd like to do around the base of another local mountain. One day, one day...lol

I just feel really empowered lately and climbing a 14,000+ foot peak seems not so impossible...lol. I thnk I'm going mad...rofl.

It's just strange to me that I thought that and didn't say, "you're crazy. You can't do that"...I guess my self-confidence is back! :o) woo hoo!

So anyone else have these kinds of thoughts or aspirations??

Well, you lived in the wrong part of the state. If you want to see REAL blue skies, you have to go east of the Cascades in the summer. I've only been in the Willamette Valley for two years now, and we've had incredibly mild winters with very little rain. I think we're 10" below normal for the year so far.
