Transcript

Hiking the Skyline Trail at Mt. Rainier. It's cold. I feel warmed up. I'll see y'all at the top. First seating checkpoint, I'm like sweating bullets already. The first part was so humbling, it was so steep. But I feel good. So far so good. How you feeling, babe? Fantastic. That's good. Look at her in all her beauty. I'm coming, peace. Okay, one mile in. Let's go. How are you feeling? Good. Look, it's coming. My breathing. I'm okay. Peace. Okay, we did another pit stop. 1.4 in. We made it to the peak. Right now we're at 1.96 miles in. We still have four miles to go, about three more hours or so. So check you guys later. We're officially three miles in. Two and a half more to go. All downhill. How are you feeling? Feel good. I'm at a 10 out of 10. Nice. All right guys, where are currently at what? Four miles in. Oh yeah. We are five miles in. We just got done. We are about to be done. We have officially hit six miles. How do you feel? I'm good. I want to go home. I did it. We did it. I did it and I did it complain. Not once. And I did it with a great attitude. She really did. I'm proud of you, love. Is it here that? I'm proud of my love. Thank you.
