And just like that, we're in the New Year! I've had some time to organize thoughts and reflect since I started the year with some kind of non-COVID virus, which is a solid bummer, but here we are!
I completed 2024 with the following stats:
Hikes: 105 (113 in 2023; 103 in 2022)
Distance: 641.36 mi (667.06 mi in 2023; 531.81 mi in 2022)
Elevation: 147,720 ft (127,353 ft in 2023; 108.904 ft in 2022)
Both number of hikes and distance were down since 2023, but elevation was much higher. All three stats reached my goal of >100 hikes, >500 miles, and >100,000 feet - so I am happy and proud of that! Winter saw a gain in elevation, summer exploded in all three stats, and both spring and fall had lower stats, which I was surprised by! I thought skiing would have contributed to lower stats, but winter wasn't too far behind 2023. All that being said, I'm the healthiest I've been since college, and very pleased with myself!
Looking at other goals I set for last year:
- 100/500/100,000 [COMPLETE]
- Progress on the 48/52 [PROGRESS MADE]
- Complete the VT 5 [Pushed to 2025]
