The alarm clock rings no later than 5:00 a.m. on days we’re taking a long, challenging hike. For safety, we want to avoid coming off the trail after dark. The truth is that although I love hiking, complaining thoughts arise at 5:00 a.m: “Why not just stay home today, relax, and read a book? The hike I choose is too steep and rocky.” The noise in my mind begins to fade as I roll out of bed and focus on my hike preparation drill.
