LIFE AS I SEE IT

So recently I picked up long distance running and hiking as a hobby (in addition to blogging), and I must say it has been quite eventful. So earlier this month I joined a group of young individuals to hike the Mt. Kenya. Don’t worry we didn’t get to the top or anything like that, cause climbing the Mt. Kenya to its peak takes about 7days minimum, at least that’s what our guide told us. Anyways we hiked one slope of the Mountain (through castle forest) about 18km in distance.

Work harder to be better, persevere and the breakthrough will eventually come. T
