No Shame and No Regret
I was ready! I was pumped!
I was going to hike the volcano Pacaya just outside Antigua Guatemala with my son and daugher-in-law. Little did I know that I wasn’t as physically prepared to hike it at the speed of the guides as I should have been. You must know, I’m a little stubborn and I like doing things on my own terms and pace.
I was DETERMINED to walk up that volcano on my own two feet.
I mean, I had been going to the gym and walking (what I thought was a lot) to help get me prepared.
We got off the bus and all I needed was a quick potty break, a walking stick, and I could hit that trail running. Wrong. As we began the ascent I quickly realized running was not going to be feasible. No worries, I can walk. (more…)
