I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 241: Hiking Kennesaw Mountain
I had decided to go hiking today at Kennesaw Mountain. At 5pm. In metro Atlanta. In the sun. To say I was worried would be quite accurate. Add that to the fact that it was kind of considered to be a date. What if it's too hot and I feel like I'm going to pass out? What if I'm super sweaty and I smell bad? Those were pretty much my main concerns: Heat and sweat.
Result: So it was definitely not a 1 hour or 1.5 hour long hike. It was a freakin' 7.25 mile hike! Up a mountain and a hill and who knows what else. Long story short: I was sweaty but not super hot. I definitely struggled through it. But I did it :-) And I'm doing it again on Thursday :-) I even bought a hydration pack backpack last night so that I can have water with me and not have to carry it. Go me!
