Mind over Body
The first Israel Trail hike of season 2 was designated an easy hike. Normally, it would be for me. But I had some doubts this time. I had returned home from abroad two weeks previously covid-positive, with a throat infection that required antibiotics, ongoing bouts of naseau, and a left knee that had painfully flared up. My entire body was out of sorts. But my mind was telling me I could and should do it. It would revive my spirits.
