About this listen
Following her best-selling memoir, Thirst, here is the next step in Heather “Anish” Anderson’s adventurous life journey - one of deep emotion and self-discovery
Despite her success setting a self-supported Fastest Known Time record on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2013, Heather “Anish” Anderson still had such deep-seated insecurities that she became convinced her feat had been a fluke. So two years later she set out again, this time hiking through mud, rocks, and mountain blazes to crush her constant self-doubt and seek the true source of her strength and purpose.
The 2,189 miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Maine to Georgia, did not make it easy. Anderson struggled with its infamous rain, humidity, insects, and steep grades for 54 days. But because she had to fight for every step, she knew when she reached the summit of Springer Mountain, the AT’s southern terminus, that she had fully earned the trail. Of greater value, she learned to love herself and her body, and to feel the depth of her power. Examining emotional scars as well as her relationship with her mother, Anderson’s deeply internal yet highly physical journey in Mud, Rocks, Blazes is an essential story.

Absolute G&D
This book is a testament to one person’s strength of mind and body. There were moments where I would think ‘Why do this to your self’ especially when her feet were in such bad shape or some of the other things she experienced. I am not sure I could have done it. It was a harrowing experience for her, but one she needed to rid herself of self doubt and believe in herself.

Makes you want to give it a go.
It certainly sounds like a leg breaking journey, but I'll be honest and say it gave me tingles.
I loved that Heather is so honest about her emotions throughout the journey. She really proved that self doubt can be controlled and turned to a positive.
Amazing human, great listening.
