One of the many things I've done was one of my goals this year – Break down my own physical limits. What did I do? I hiked up a mountain.

With minimal training but with the essential preparation, me, Stéphanie and our best friend Georges set up to hike up the Mt. Sugarloaf in Campbellton. It stands 350 meter (1,000 feet) above sea level with a 900 meter climb. The complete hike is over 4.3 kilometers long (half of the Terry Fox Trail around the mountain and the climb, back and forth).

It was hard and took us about 2 hours to reach the top, including several essential breaks. We struggled through and reached the top. It was incredibly satisfying. The view over the city of Campbellton and the Gaspésie was breathtaking. Now, we feel like we can tackle anything. So much that me and Stéphanie want to do it again. This time with training and more preparation (we sort of ran out of water during the hike...)
