Recently, my sister, who is a marathon runner, asked me to go to Vancouver with her and my niece. Michelle, my sis, would be running a half marathon sponsored by Lululemon. As an enticement, there would be yoga in the park, special clothing promotions, hair braiding and more. Plus I could have a brief girl's vacation using my new shiny passport!
On one of the days there Michelle planned for us to climb the Grouse Grind. The "Grind" as it more commonly known is a steep two mile hike in which you climb 3000 feet up the side of a mountain.

This is the starting sign of the Grind

To climb this hill one has to go up man made stairs that can make you lift your knees to your chest and scale rocks and tree roots. It is not for the faint of heart.
But I am faint of heart! Before this trip, I cannot get out of bed because I am feeling depressed, alone, lost, angry, full of rage, and overwhelmed.
