As I reminisce on our wonderful hike experience, it also did unknowingly bring up some emotional highlights in the reality of our health situation. Don’t get me wrong, being in the fitness industry and Scott not able to properly partake in fitness himself is a daily challenge, but this moment highlighted where the boundaries truly are. It wasn’t lifting a few dumbbells every once in a while or walking a bit of a longer walk..it was a hard pass. Not gonna happen.
The emotions I personally went through sending Scott on his separate way from us hiking made this journey so much deeper than just ‘hiking up Snowdon’. It was a mountain of emotions to overcome as well, for both of us for different reasons. Personally for us, it was a unexpected moment we had to hold a mirror up to our journey with Arrythmogenic Cardiomyopathy, and truly look at our reality straight in the eye because sometimes life is just like that. Sometimes you are just shown your truth from a different perspective and it smacks you in the face.
What we will take away:
•Endless gratitude for the train to bring him to the summit to celebrate with us!
•Endless gratitude that the Mighties we climbed with were fit and able and absolute mountain conquerors! Even with a few moments to overcome while climbing and descending.
•Endless gratitude that Scott is alive and able to have a pint with us at the bottom to celebrate.
•Gratitude that an idea he had to create this space of The Mighty One Hundred has led us to a group of people coming together to take on a truly bonding challenge!
Overall a massive WIN! All while simultaneously being allowed to grieve the parts of us that have to take separate paths to get to the same summit. 🏔️
You can absolutely not waste a single penny investing in your health. You get to do this. How lucky are we. 🍀
