On the Pyrenean Haute Route, an oafish American hiker questioned Blissful's ability to manage a route of this difficulty. 

“Even YOU?” he asked, his lip curling in disdain. “I haven’t seen many old people hiking this.”

It shook her confidence, for sure, but here she was, backpacking while old. 

We don’t tend to bounce back the way we did when we were younger.

That’s why we have to prioritize –

1:46 Rest
3:34 Nutrition
5:46 Exercise

– and in that order!

Blissful will give her first TEDx talk this October in Manchester, New Hampshire! The subject is "Stepping into the Unknown." Get tickets here. 

MUSIC: Introduccion y Allegro by Carlos Guastavino as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
