Bummed to realize I rode 1000 less miles this year, due to injuries and pain.

Stoked to discover I offset that by hiking 750 miles after decades of struggling with pain that took me away from that. I'm saying I hiked 750 miles the first year trying to do so in at least two decades.

Overall, my elevation gain is down but I still got in 140,000 feet combined so not a complete loss. My best so far - and I've only been tracking for a handful of years now - was ~~only~~ 200,000 feet in a year.

Keep thinking I'm going to break through certain walls.
