Comments on: Why I’m Glad I Didn’t Make It! http://www.beyond-alchemy.com/uncategorized/why-im-glad-i-didnt-make-it/ Simple Changes That Transform Your Life Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:51:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Morgan http://www.beyond-alchemy.com/uncategorized/why-im-glad-i-didnt-make-it/comment-page-1/#comment-519 Morgan Mon, 19 Jul 2010 17:24:16 +0000 http://www.beyond-alchemy.com/?p=1924#comment-519 Hi Clare I followed your tweets through the trailwalker live blog. I really feel your pain, this was my 5th and final Trailwalker and have finished 4. What the experiences have taught me is that finishing an event like this is a lottery. You can be as fit and mentally prepared as you like, but if you get a problem (blisters, tendonitis, pulled ligaments), that usually means you are out. To have attempted it is a success, there is no such thing as failure when the journey is as arduous as that one. You have my full respect for taking on the challenge. You have a great way with words and you put into writing a lot of how I feel about taking a challenge such as this. I wish you well with further exploits, although I warn you now the temptation to do trailwalker again will be very high. :) All the best Morgan Hi Clare

Truly! I am so proud of you, and your physical and emotional courage. The "path" you ended up walking sounds like exactly the right path to me. What an inspiration...
