Today is the day – today I’m ignoring my head and just moving forward.
The plan is as follows: the first hike 6 days after surgery is happening. For that I showered in the morning (super important for motivation), cooked myself some food (in pain, seated – today nothing matters) and then set off.
The route is 500 meters from my apartment to my dad’s place for a coffee. No matter what, I’m doing it all the way today.
Normally I enjoy long hikes (sometimes 20 km with 1800m elevation, etc. etc.).
But these 500 meters were among the most exhausting things I’ve ever done. Every 100 meters I needed a 2–3 minute break, so in the end I arrived at my dad’s after about 30 minutes, drenched in sweat.
But it felt amazing – finally being outside again.
The day was a big success – the tunnel is slowly clearing.
