#repost @katethewild A wrench was thrown into my plans to hike the John Muir Trail. It was a painful back injury, with an unknown recovery time, that could potentially hold me back from achieving one of my most adventurous dreams to date. In the months leading up to the hike, a million worrisome thoughts ran through my mind… so last night I wrote a blog post for those coping with an injury before a thru hike or a physically challenging feat. I know it might be a niche topic, but I hope this information helps anyone struggling with an injury. Link to blog in profile ✌🏻
