Christine Reed didn't start out loving trail life or toughing out injuries, but she found that suffering can teach us who we really are. Her journey, from hating every step on Pinnacle Mountain to completing the Wonderland Trail, wasn't just about the miles, it was about redefining her identity and learning how to listen to her body. Her story reminds us that deep growth often comes when we find ourselves outside our comfort zone, whether that's on a mountain or in every-day life. The trail isn't a simple fix or a quick answer, it’s an ongoing relationship with ourselves.
