I have to really dig down into myself and go on when I don't feel good. I realize I'm lucky compared to a lot of other people. We all could do more than we do. A lot of the depression I feel is just fatigue. It's easier to quit, of course.
Attitude counts, much more than the physical strength.
I met up with Jay in Mass. Sunday October 11th and hiked for a day with him. I had a great time. My practice 15-mile hikes on flat trails here in Jersey in no way compared to the barely 9 miles I walked in Jay's dust. I would have had to slow-jog to keep up with him. Besides the height and conditioning gap, Jay uses two adjustable walking sticks that Paz gave him.
