Cassagnas - Saint-Germain de Calberte

The sun was back, and I walked the morning with a mountain guide from the alps who knew a lot about animals and plants, was a raging socialist and dyke but had unfortunately also conspiracy theories about vaccines. We stopped for lunch at a place with an incredible view over the southern Cevennes, the mediterranean seemed to be just behind the last summit. It was said to be a celtic cult site with a menhir and a stone tomb. Afterwards I continued alone through the chestnut forests.

Gunstock Trail Fest Day 2

Finished my first 30K! The heat and humidity were definitely a hurdle and got to me a bit in the final 10K but it was a solid experience. Like the day before was aiming to be a bit quicker but it keeps it all in perspective. More work to come and 8 weeks until Kodiak 50K Ultra. Super happy with the improvements I've made with my coach in the last few months and excited to see where the year goes.

Also shout out to @body-knows-best for being awesome and supportive the last couple weeks!

My 5am pals 🏃🏻‍♂️ (as a runner I’ve been a Hoka loyalist for a long while but the Endorphin Speed 3’s have been wonderful for me on tempo runs and dailies)

A love from far,

Knocked the doors of my heart,

I hesitated to open.

A love from far,

Said it was okay to let them in,

And I hesitated again, but did eventually.

A love from far,

Guessed my eyes as mystery,

Voice sweet and that we had some chemistry.

A love from far,

Opened up to me,

We talked and talked till hours,

Till the dusk became the dawn.

A love from far,

Somehow knew me by heart,

And I finally let them in,

Broke down the walls,

Where my heart was situated safely.

A love from far,

Preserved it till they could,

Then again, fate had to interfere.

The 'far' was too much to handle,

While the 'love' started fading away.

A love from far,

Left from the same door it entered from,

While I stilled for a second, as I recall my mind saying,

'I knew this would happen from the start'.

-A✨

I finished another thru hike! Vermont’s Long Trail is 272 miles long, and the first established long distance hiking trail in the US.

Even when people say something is difficult and shouldn’t be taken lightly, you never truly understand until you are in the middle of it. The first week was nothing but cold, wet, and pain. I got some reprieve from the rain for a few days and hiked in my camp shoes to let my scabbing blisters heal. This trail was like nothing I had encountered before. There were times when the trail required you to physically climb up boulders and ladders!

As difficult as the trail was, it was the best challenge I have ever tackled. I don’t think I’ve ever had that much fun tackling something so physically straining. The views weren’t terrible either. Hiking throughout the peak fall foliage was a gift. Watching the leaves change from green to yellow, red, orange, then eventually to brown and then falling off the trees leaving most of them barren as well as completely obscuring the trail created it’s own small challenge.

I met so many wonderful people on the trail that I know I would not have been able to finish if it wasn’t for their knowledge and insight. Lil’ Banjo reminded me of trail community and always willing to extend a helping hand when you see others suffering. Uncle Tom let me room with him in the first town, and regaled me with stories of all the hiking he did throughout his journey. The Crockets (Sweet Meat & Heavy Load) advised me to hike in crocs to release tension on my feet while they heal. Em & Bean reminded me to enjoy the challenge, live in the moment, enjoy the small things, and to take your time. Most importantly, Mouse showed me how quick friendships blossom and how deep those connections become in such a short amount of time when all distractions of the outside world are removed, as well as how you can lose track of time when you’re in the presence of someone you love being around.

Well, that’s it for this post. I might publish the journal I kept while I hiked the Long Trail, I haven’t decided yet. I’m ready for my next adventure. The motivation I’ve gained from this thru hike is something I am going to hold onto for dear life. I don’t want a repeat of slipping into a stupor after my last hike. And it’s true what everyone says, you’ll never forget your first thru hike, and you will be chasing that high for the rest of your life.

Day 11 - Bournemouth to Dancing Ledge

Day 11 – Bournemouth to Dancing Ledge

Well I 100% didn’t need all that alcohol I drank last night, and I definitely felt like I had more than four drinks. This was possibly the reason it took so bloody long to get going today despite the fact we didn’t have to take a tent down. We needed breakfast and a Mug Shot with a bit of sausage chopped into it wasn’t going to cut it so we headed to Chineside on the seafront to cram a plate full…

More Kungsleden watercolours! 1) View from the highest point of the Kungsleden: The Tjätkja pass. Seeing the expanse of this landscape, the beautiful colours, all those textures and its remoteness was very moving and it feels so special to me that I got the opportunity to paint and thus spend a little longer in this place, feasting my eyes and filling my heart. 2) Saying Goodbye to the trail by having lunch in the harbour with perfect views of Njulla. 3) Murky afternoon at Alesjaure. We walked a bit further past the hiking cabins and found a good spot for wild camping halfway down the lake. Alesjaure greeted us in the wildest shade of turquoise next morning. 4) Lunch break up at Tarfala, looking at one of the glaciers. I cooled down so much from sitting still and painting, that it took me 1,5 h walking downhill again, before my fingers weren't numb anymore. You can find Kungsleden part 1 here: https://chintzmann.tumblr.com/post/725753382562840576/i-spent-my-holidays-hiking-the-kungsleden-in

Florac - Cassagnas

Finally back on the Stevenson trail again, with its good signs, well traced paths through the chestnuts and retired French people. Had a last look at the plateaus and their vultures, lost my nuts and dried fruits in the forest for the hogs to enjoy and finished in the valley of Cassagnas which Stevenson described as "dark and wild".

Last long run before 30K next weekend! Biggest trail miles so far. Time to recover and give the body what it needs.

Above the Hollywood sign

Got a little dirty by the end

Most people who follow me these days don't know that from 2018 to 2020 I had a webcomic.

It was a memoir following the events of my first long-distance backpacking trip with my husband. One hundred miles of the Pacific Crest Trail in Oregon, from Sisters, OR to Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood.

It focused a lot on my insecurities as a new backpacker as compared to the thru-hikers we encountered on that adventure... and the difficulties present in my marriage at the time.

Honestly, the longer I worked on it the more beautiful the pages became, and the faster I got at making them! I learned so much working on this project.

Each day on that trip was formatted as a chapter in the 'story' I was telling. Thus, the longer I worked on it, the longer each day became. Chapter 1 was only 29 pages, while Chapter 2 (above) was 37.

What ended up going online was only chapter 1 and 2. I intended on completing all of chapter 3 before posting it two pages per week so I'd have ample buffer to work on subsequent chapters. But... life kind of happened and production slowed down.

And, well, I realized in the end I was airing my dirty laundry for the world to see and painting my husband in a really shitty light.

The first nine pages of chapter 3 were finished, with a few more after that flatted and inked. The whole chapter was penciled save for a handful at the very end that I at least got roughed out. I loved how this chapter was looking and reading. I got creative with panels and compositions and felt so confident in my ability to make a good graphic memoir.

It was hard for me to let it go, but as the chapter progressed and the story got into the nitty gritty of it all, it was just too much. What had started as a desire to make a comic about a dramatic backpacking trip that left me with a sprained ankle and a newfound appreciation for my body had become... one-sided couples therapy.

This is the first time a lot of these pages have ever seen the Internet.

There's "doing the work" and then there's "Doing the WORK", and that's what this comic became. Seeing my actual faults. Not just my insecurities and anxieties, but how I saw myself in relation to my own partner and how I saw him. It was thoughtless to paint him in that light for other people to see and make their own assumptions.

So, a strong note to be made now: This comic is, technically, fictitious. Characterizations were exaggerated so much that the characters I made of myself and my husband didn't resemble us anymore.

I took the whole thing off the internet when came to these uncomfortable realizations. There are far, far worse pages already drawn that will never see the light of day.

Memoirs are tricky things. They can be healing, but they can also be harmful. The people in your memories are still people, and that has to be understood throughout the entire process. No matter what kind of imagined 'redemption arc' you create in your narrative to make up for it.

Anyway, if you got this far, thanks for reading about my experience making a webcomic/graphic memoir.
