It\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve felt that kind of darkness, and it crept in quietly, like twilight settling over the trail.\u00a0 This darkness is different in endurance sports journeys&#8217; it&#8217;s a space where deep growth and resilience emerges.\u00a0 But since my groin injury, it&#8217;s becomes less familiar for a season &#8211; so it was a welcomed reminder before I kick into my next big Ironman adventure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d0450e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d0450e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>These two other gentlemen were quite patient.

Maybe it was the relentless uphill, maybe the memories it stirred\u2014like the time I fell backwards near Baldy when I was 18 while skiing.\u00a0 Earlier that day on a chair I recall thinking I\u2019d reached the peak of everything.\u00a0 Ha!\u00a0 Life is full of ironic events!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb16037 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb16037\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I told G about it, how I didn\u2019t remember ever coming up this trail before, but something about a circled set of trees triggered old memories.

But I\u2019ve been more grounded deciding years ago that there was indeed something better and started to identify how to achieve that instead.\u00a0 Still, that hike brought up echoes of past adventures, some light, some full of deep resonating echoes and others more subtly shadowed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0c3c50c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0c3c50c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>During the moment when the trees formed a kind of circled cathedral overhead.

It\u2019s my way of practicing gratitude, of being mindful.
