Day 23 - Finding my Winding Way

Well today was extremely frustrating. My first week on the hikes I was placed in the lowest van and kept telling myself that week 4 I was going to be rocking the hikes. The second week I thought I was going to get moved up because I thought I did well on the assessment hike. I was not, so I decided to start running the trails. The third week I was bumped up 2 vans and was loving it. Week 4 comes along and I do pretty well on the assessment hike and GET BUMPED DOWN A VAN! I was so frustrated but had not been on the hike so I was (sort of) giving it a chance. I ended up at the back of the group (it appears I was stewing, or pouting). We got to the turn around point which is a nice little waterfall and I thought "this is it?" I was so angry that I wanted to cry. How after all this time do I end up here? So instead of stewing - I took off, jogged past everyone including the guides and high tailed it back to the van with a guide chasing after me telling me to slow down so we can all stay together. I did this for ~2.5 miles. First one back to the van. Guess what van I am in now??????

Moral of the story - don't get mad, jog.
