When it comes to the way that these hikes have impacted me personally in my

family, in my marriage, in my relationships with other people, I think being

out in creation and giving myself space and time really being forced to, you

know, I wouldn't probably be training the way I am or out in your nature the way

I am without the motivation of knowing that I'm doing a hike. It gives me

space to process things, process my own thoughts, feelings, so that I am able to

come back to my family having thought through difficult things. When it comes to

training, I get to do these often with my wife. We've done a lot of training

together for these hikes and gives us time and space on the trail to have

conversations without the little ones around and in a way that, you know, we're

not sitting across a table from each other and some of that is there's that

awkwardness of the face to face and when you're moving side by side, you can

have conversations and feel like you're able to be even a little bit more vulnerable

in the ways that you communicate. You can talk about difficult things a little

more easily when you're moving. Oddly enough, there's this this freedom in the

ability to speak about things that really matter when you're moving your body. I

know that I'm also a better father and husband having moved my body and on some

level, putting forth effort and doing something hard and difficult and

working out my thoughts and feelings in order to come home to my family and my

friends, my church community to offer myself to them having worked through

difficult things out on the trail. Hey, hey, Revelation Wellness friends, you just
