pct day 13 - 05/18/13 - surprise zero #2

i had so much fun last night that i decided to stay here another day. so many awesome souls to hang out with. plus, i worked hard the last two days!

so remember that story from day 12 about that guy i met on the trail who was struggling a bit? i get a ride from someone at the hostel to resupply at the store and lo and behold the guy is in the car! the best part is that he starts to recount this story of how this young kid passed him yesterday having just done a 35 mile day and then doing another and how he got so fired up and mad that he was going so slow that he really started trekking and did the most miles he has ever done. it was quite a funny moment when i told him that he was telling me about me. i have to say i felt great knowing that i inspired him. he went on to tell me that doing small miles and going slow was all just made up in his mind. isn't that always the case?

my lesson, thanx to tortuga, is to remember that when it seems like something is challenging it is just something made up by my mind. no limits . . .

thanx to all at big bear.
