I think it's pretty rad when you can take an activity, or sport and turn it from what feels like a chore into something somewhat enjoyable. I use to hate #hiking, let alone walking on the fucking sidewalk. I didn't get to snowboard, or bike down, or scare the shit out of myself, and therefore my endorphins weren't firing like they were suppose to. It didn't make sense. But I started hiking because a cute girl got me into it, (still do it for her company) then I did it for the beers and burger after, or the fact food and fireball taste so damn good at 6900 ft. but now I do it for the fire lookouts. Recently I've started to hike alone, and fast, like I'm trying to get it over with (I am). Can't wait till I simple enjoy hiking as is, instead of doing it for the reward system. Is that possible?! #StockholmSyndrome #pnw
