Chasing the Tug: A Day on Crowley Lake with Mr. Long Valley Fly Fishing
After all my few experiences of fishing, I’ve learned that there’s only so much someone can teach you verbally. True knowledge comes from a mix of what you’re told, what you see in action, and then putting it all into practice in the moment. You’ve got to feel it for yourself. And each time I felt a bite on my line, my body began to memorize the steps, developing the natural rhythm of fishing…I’m already itching to get back on the boat, cast my line, and chase that addictive tug.
What running has taught me
…running has given me is the proof that I can do hard things. It has helped me learn to sit in the discomfort. To push myself past limits beyond what I thought I could. And that despite the discomfort, I’m going to keep showing up for myself because I have now seen and experienced the benefits on the other side time and time again….I’m so thankful for this.
The Journey to Upper Yosemite Falls
…the satisfaction I felt and still feel knowing I made it to the top of Yosemite Falls will live with me forever. The sore legs, fatigue, and blisters were worth it!
