My legs are numb, my right foot feels wonky, I am a little sunburnt (where I missed a spot with the sunscreen) and I had a 4 hour nap before bedtime and then went straight back to sleep an hour later.
Why?
Because yesterday I conquered Table Mountain. I wasn't the first, or the fastest, but it was a personal best for me!
I love the challenge and the knowledge that I accomplished something that I wouldn't be able to do a year ago. I love the idea that for a year I have been looking at the mountain from my office and now I can finally say: I did it!
I love the fact that after more than 4 hours, my knees protesting after climbing down about rock, I saw the breathtaking blue of the Atlantic between the buttresses. I love that there are perfect and uniquely interesting flowers and plants lining the path, and realising that the fynbos is unique to this area.
I love that I could celebrate the start of summer with something so amazing!
