Glad today was a good day for you! That trail magic was amazing, and so nice of them to tell you to text them if you need anything. So awesome. Hope your hip starts feeling better!
You can do It. Slow is a great idea. You can beat this trail. I admire your perseverance. Rooting for your success. ☮️
Glad you had a great day!❤
Showing a lot of maturity in your decisions about your health. Hope it works out for you.👍👍👍
❤slowing down is great option. You’re amazing and don’t compare yourself to others, we are all on our own unique journey in life and on the trail! Lots of options and choices, do some of the trail each year, do what’s best for you 😊
That road is the Skyline Drive and one of the prettiest routes in Virginia!
Love it
Glad you have been with people today. If taking it slow for now is what works for you, just do it - take care of you 💙
Take your time and enjoy every minute of your hike. Stay safe and Happy Hiking ⛺️🥾💞
Happy Day 70! Nice and Easy does it every time. It worked for the Hare. Fortunately, there are kind people willing to help hikers. Above and beyond thoughtful! Thanks for the trail views. Cheers to your progress. Wishing you peace and fair weather ahead. Happy Trails!
That was so nice for you to have some trail magic and boost your spirits. I really hope taking it easier will be better for your hip. Stay strong!!
Don’t worry about what other hikers do, I think you are awesome no matter what speed you go! 🧡
So glad you are feeling better about your choices, but always put yourself first and don’t pay no mind to what others are doing or saying.
Good video, 😅 with some good views, a garden snake 😮, and some deers 😊, so let's keep on hiking 😊
Enjoy the journey. Rest more. My wife and I send you our best regards.
Fingers crossed for you......and thanks.
I hope slowing down helps. Enjoy the beautiful trail👣🌻
Good to see you are having good days!
If you're not enjoying it, you're doing it wrong. Slow down, take a few more days off so you quit hurting yourself which gives you a poorer outlook on things. Remember, the destination isn't what's important---its the trip that means everything. Good luck, God bless you.
Praying for you.
You got this! An amazing amount of work you have put in! Those Virginia blues will be gone soon enough lol safe travels! JB
Excited for to step into Maryland
Glad to see yoy Gabby. Slow and steady wins the race, but dont race. 😀
You so deserved that trail magic! 😊 Warms my heart to see you in better spirits. Wise to slow down, and what better place than the Shennies. You may have already tried...have you tried undoing your hip belt on flatter terrain to see if it helps your hip at all? Anyhow, rest, nourish, stretch and all that good stuff. ✌️
Looks like fun!
You are still making good decisions and being brave. Nice Gabby.
You are going by how you feel and making adjustments as needed and see if they help.Good, the trail is nice enjoy.
Glad you had a good day. Obviously, don’t know the source of your hip pain but if you’re a side sleeper, you might try sleeping with a pillow or something pillow like between your knees. Good luck.
About your hip, do you do hip stretches? I love watching your hiking videos and hate to have you leave. Hang in there….
I think slowing down is the right decision. I really hope you find a hiking buddy or a tramily to keep you company.
I agree with "it's not a race". If you need some more weeks, take that time! Maybe experiment a bit with insoles or even other shoes, a thicker sleeping pad. Stay on a camping ground for a few days.
Sorry bout the no show driver that would’ve put me in a bad mood all day but you just moved past it no problem and kept a positive mood and were blessed with good ppl and good vibes ❤❤❤
Yeah, just one day at a time. That will put less stress on you and your body
Just hike the speed that is best for you. Your health is more important than going further. So glad you got trail magic!!!
I’m loving the vlogs but don’t feel bad if you can’t or don’t want to do the whole thing. There is a reason Earl Schaffer’s trail name is crazy one.
Some ideas which may help your tendonitis. Take:
1) Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), chondroitin, and glucosamine
2) Fish or krill oil
3) Green Lipped Mussel Extract.
Glad that you met a nice couple. Hope your hike goes well.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Take your time Gabby you’re not in a race
Not sure how comfy your sleeping pad is but when I had just a Nemo eggcrate my hips would kill me. Also look up stretches for your piriformis muscle. Like figure 4 stretches. They do wonders for your hips too
Hi friend!
Are u still carrying the bear canister?
