If you've ever lost your love for your work, your hobbies, or a sport you used to pursue... You might be able to relate to this film. This adventure absolutely changed the way I relate to running, and I'm so much happier for it. I guess I just needed to change the way I approach running in my own mind. Thank you so much for joining in on this journey

Ones that are flexible. Our bodies change, the world changes. Always be ready to adapt. My prayers are always with you Eva. Stay safe.

Very impressive run Eva. It isn’t the distance it is the terrain. That is very difficult to negotiate because of the nature of the trail. As you said there are many rattlesnakes and cactus to pass. Running in the rocks while very tired is quite dangerous because you are too tired to focus on where your next step is going to go ,yet it is important that you do. Bravo! Kindest regards Your Pal Al

Watching this video made me happy. I was an athlete and an outdoors woman when I was younger. I had many adventures. My body has worn out now and I cannot do most of my favorite things, but seeing your pure joy for running is beautiful. Even though I cannot run, or hike anymore, I still try and get out to my favorite places and swim, paddle and enjoy nature. I was a vanlife for years and I am so grateful for those memories. ❤

It was great meeting you in Anchorage last week. We are looking forward to your videos about the Aleutians. At 70, I can't do things I could do at 60, but I am leaving Alaska next month to motorcycle to Tierra del Fuego. You young kids serve as an inspiration to us senior citizens.

Hi Eva. As a new trail runner, outdoor enthusiast and someone just enjoying and loving life, I must say your channel and content is truly inspiring! Thank you, and keep it up!

You took the right approach! If you’re going to run to compete with yourself or to beat an unrealistic benchmark, you will hate yourself for it. Run because its fun for you and you have a good time and the end result isn’t to prove anything to anyone else. No one cares unless you’re a professional runner seeking to win. Then the discipline is all important. If you don’t see yourself being a running champion, you’re free to do what you want!

I value the honesty so much because there's so huge lack of it in the world. Like everyone tries to cut a "negative" part off her or him and hide it somewhere and only show us a "good" one, where we can see smiles, success, achievements and high performance in overcoming the hardship. It makes feel lonely because it makes impossible to see a real person, and if you don't see a real person, you can't have a tight connection with them, surface chatting only. Personally i see nothing shameful about failing to achieve something, or quitting some activity, or changing your mind on something. All these things are natural parts of us as human beings.

I’m a former athlete, former law enforcement, and person that has, and will likely again experience burnout. I have learned that burnout is my body and mind telling me to take a break. When I take a break I’m like a hibernating bear. I don’t socialize, do much, or enjoy many things. Eventually, as my mind and body recuperates I start engaging in living again. I become free with my thoughts and feelings. I start making plans and goals, most importantly short term goals to get me to my long term goals, so that I live the life I want. The wall is a real place and if you don’t hit the wall sometimes you aren’t pushing yourself. It’s a mental barrier to physical distress. Burnout is a physical manifestation of a mental condition. At least that’s how I rationalize it to myself. Your level of self awareness is to be commended and thank you for sharing your experiences. I’m going to continue to enjoy watching your videos while working on my short term goals to get me to my long term goals. Keep doing you because it’s pretty damn good!

Eva, as a guy who has been with you since Syria, I've seen you go through some Hi's and lows over time. The one thing that really stands out to me is the fact that you always handle everything with a poise and grace that not many people have nowadays. YOU inspired me to start running and every time I hit a wall, I ask myself "What would Eva do?" then get up and keep going... Also, if you ever start being hard on yourself over your run times, just remember that since you're such a shorty, you have to take twice as many steps as normal size people. 🤣👍As always, BIG HUGS and much ❤from Tennessee!

I stopped running 15 years ago after lots of injuries caused by my own competition with myself. I'm not running across Baja, but I've also started running again -- on woodland trails, mostly -- without times and with only slight regard to distances. I didn't know what I'd lost until I found that feeling again. Glad you've reconnected with it too.

Something similar happened to Richard Feynman, one of the great physicists of the 20th century, after the war. He got into a very similar funk and his way out was the same, instead of constantly evaluating his accomplishments he decided just to have fun with physics and only do it for the joy of doing it.

You have no idea how much I needed to watch this. I have been battling an ongoing health issue for the past 2 years that caused me to stop running last October after restarting my running streak. Long boring story with the details but it was making me sicker instead of better. Anyway, I think I have finally conquered the health issue and need to start moving again. I need to remember the fun of running and not just focusing on what I have lost. I'll admit to some tears because I knew and have felt what you were talking about but they were some cathartic tears. I need to find the fun again.

❤You are a carefree person who lives and strives at the moment. Which the majority of the people are lacking. Eva, more power to you on your life's journey...

It's the same with anything you love in life, if it begins feeling more like a job than a passion, you WILL burn out eventually. That's why a lot of talented artists won't turn their hobby into a business, they don't want to feel obligated to do what they enjoy.

Hey, Eva, I hope you see this. I just want to say that your perfectionism is your way to justify your existence, because deep down you feel that you cannot just be yourself. Best of luck to you!

You make me cry, helping remind me to live. I love running and I felt an unworthiness to do something I loved after I left in college. It really does affect you. I had to learn performance and competition wasn’t all I was . I wasn’t a failure, and I had to take some time to heal and process the situation as a whole. I’m many years out of that time , but even now I’m remembering that freedom of running. I just really really am happy I found your channel. I hope of day I get to meet you. Run with you. Thank you for all the time you take to makes these films. You truly could create amazing documentaries and your voice and words just bring so much life. I proud of you 30s girl! Thank you for choosing to really really live and to be an inspiration to countless people.

You are so brave, Eva! Enjoy your life!

You are so badass. I’m 64 and know Baja well. I have literally been on a dirt road for 8 hours with no one or nothing in sight. The lagoon you came across was breathtaking. That alone would of been worth it all to me. I don’t think I could of left it.😊

Great to see back and do what’ you do best. Running is your mantra for success and wellness.

You push yourself SO hard... Keep pushing! The failures are trivial. Like you said, the things you'll remember and cherish the most are those surprises you find along the way. You're amazing and wonderful. You trigger that adventurous spirit in so many others, you inspire me as well. When you cry, I want to hug you... when you win, I want to give you a high-5! You're so fearless, so honest and so fun. I've really enjoyed your videos for at least the last year or so. Please keep it up!

Great job and what an amazing adventure!!! It’s great you’ve come to terms about what running really means to you. There is nothing to prove to anyone but yourself. It’s about the adventure and journey of the run. The beautiful things and places you see along the way. I’ll be 60 next year and it took years to figure all that out and what running really means to just me. I had to learn to run my own races, do my own training plan, not worry about time, except for cut off times of course, during a race. I loved running ultras and training for them, but I had to learn how to read my body, know when enough was enough and just enjoy the journey, because that’s what it’s really about. Having to come to terms with aching joints and learning that hiking is OK too. My trail running canine is also reaching that point. So now we just enjoy the hiking journey. Good for you and thank you for taking us along on all your amazing adventures!

Eva, I enjoyed this video very much. I felt like I could relate to it a little bit. I’m getting older and I’m not as active as I used to be. Last winter I went camping in a remote area. I decided to do some longer hikes and snowshoeing (as I used to do in my younger days). On my second day I was on a trail that was very challenging for me. I found myself physically exhausted and wondering “why am I doing this?” I pushed through my discomfort (I also felt like I couldn’t go on). I did get through it, and felt such a great sense of satisfaction. Listening to your words brought this memory back for me, and reminded me of what brings me joy. Thanks for your videos, I really enjoy following along with your adventures and thanks for reminding me of what truly makes me happy.

Depending on you how you cook them rattlesnake is some of the best tasting protein I've ever had, you can boil them and make something like a tuna fish salad sandwich out of them delicious, you can fry them, shake and bake them, BBQ them, them on a stick on an open fire, you can saute them, you can batter and bake them you can batter and fry them. Although I must say my favorite way to eat rattlesnake is to batter them and fry them and dip them in a butter garlic, delicious

Great job Eva!!! You did it. I am so happy for you and thank you for sharing a very amazing video on running. It was full of adventure especially with the rattle snakes, and wonderful thoughts on how to just be yourself and go on with life the way you want it. Just do you! Soar highest in very endeavors you do!

Sorry for the length.. But you, and a very few others have helped inspire me to return to a past me, i thought was gone forever... Ill keep it as short as possible. I have always been in shape, worked out. I been a runner, body builder, power lifter, hiker.. I have only suffered one major injury. Torn roator cuff which ended my power lifting career. I took up more running and trail running. It combined my love of running and hiking. Then about 3 years ago, I got sick in February, really bad flu and pneumonia. A fever of about 105 for almost 5 days. Terrible insomnia, didn't sleep for over 5 days straight. After that i began running again, I was behind my yearly goal very early. That spring I went on a 8 mile trail run. About 3 steps before a road crossing, we were going to stop and get our bearings. I stepped in a bike rut, and tore 4 ligaments, bruised several bones, and had a severe sprain. Doc wanted me in a boot for 4-6 months. I told her, i would be on my feet by the end of the week. I did. my first walk was less than a week after the injury, i walked across my basement. the next day .25 mile. next day 1 mile and so on. within 30 days i was running again, I met and surpassed my yearly goal. Took one week off and found out i developed a really bad lung issue due the flu and pneumonia the year prior. Its now been 2 years and running has been a struggle. about a mile in my chest feels like it will cave in, no energy uanble to run sub 1030 miles. less than months ago, i set my mind to beat it. in 6 weeks i have trained harder than i have in years, regardless of the pain. I suffered, i sweat, i bled, i trained more. Days i could barely get off the couch. But... In those 6 weeks, ive lost 22 lbs. got my 5k time down from 1030/ 11 min mile pace to about 8;15. Upped my miles now to 7 miles and feel years younger. You,,,, Are an inspiration. You are a phenomenal athlete, You are an incredible person. Best wishes to you and all you do... Thank you for the continued inspiration to continue to explore and be healthy.... Great video... you are appreciated.

Wow this was great. I've never seen you looking healthier and happier. I fell off my bike 10 months ago and had a pretty bad fall - so - I've been like you were - unable to to get going out of fear. So I'm getting strength from you and looking at my bike as not a race but a ride and have fun with it. Thank you!

It's great to see that joy in your face! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

I used to love running as well. It is never wrong to just kick back and take your time and enjoy it. Take in the sights, sounds, and the smells. So you're a little slower than you used to be. So what. It is no big deal. It is all about the run and just being out there on the trail and the road. There's no rush. I do have one recommendation though. If the military ever taught me one thing, it was to bring extra socks with me. Lol The awesome thing is that you one, completed it, and two, you had fun. Never forget to have fun! Cheers!! Proud of ya!

Eva, youve explained my exact journey with running burnout. I’m slowly falling back in love with it too. With out the specific training cycles, without making it my identity again. Just enjoying moving on trails, taking photos and picking flowers along the way. Thanks for sharing your journey!

Eva, that was an amazing run! So glad to see you enjoying yourself and not getting a burnout. Unless you are in a competition, running should be fun and joyious, one of self discovery, your strength, nature and the environment around you. To see you regaining your love for running and feeling alive was absolutely amazing. I feel you Eva! Run on and enjoy the moments! P/S: Hope your palm is feeling better now.

You are never alone, the planet earth is always with you giving you her secrets, seeing things you have never seen before. You are truly amazing and do more than 90% of the population of this world! Keep running, keep having fun!! Love you Eva stay strong!💪🏃‍♀❤ Vilk was so happy to see you!🐕‍🦺

Glad to see you got your joy back. In the past I went through some tragic loses and it was a grand adventure on my bicycle that I found my joy again. I have to say at the end of a thousand mile ride and six weeks in the saddle I was tired but I was happy again. Keep it up Eva your an inspiration

You're adventure are Matchless, The Best Thing about your adventure is that you enjoyed every single possible moment like enjoying in lagoon etc etc, You're aim is not just to complete the Run but to enjoy the every single possible moment ! Great Great Efforts, More Power to you !

Loved this video. Burnout, anxiety and depression are so real and haunting. Starting in 2018, a tragic haunting experience sent me into huge depression and absolutely nothing helped to control it until I took up trail running (out of desperation) and I haven’t stopped since. Absolutely love the freedom that mountain running gives.

Eva what a great post this week. You did it!!!! You really are an inspiration to me to get out and take the risk. I’ve had both hips replaced and 1 knee replaced because of the abuse I put my body through racing motorcycles for 17 years. I can’t run but I walk 5 miles a day 5 days a week. It’s not about the miles but the journey for me. I just returned from 5 days in the back country of my home state of Montana. The journey was amazing and my 13 year old grand daughter was with me. Her first time and not her last I’m sure. I’m 67 and not ready to stop. Thank you for your strength and determination you show others.

You are truly an inspiration, doing things on your own terms now!!!!! Kudos!

Young lady, you are privileged that you CAN run whenever you want, wherever you want and how far you want and/or can. Many people, myself included, would like/love to do what you do .. but we can't and for sure most of us are thinking ' what are you complaining about girl, we can't even walk (normal) let alone run or hike or go for nice walks in the nature '. I had Polio as a child and now I have Post Polio Syndrome every month/year I get worse, I need a wheelchair now just to go shopping, soon I won't be able to do simple things anymore ... , I was never able to do what you do and seeing you complain and cry did not make me feel sorry for you! Especially because you did not even mention the fact that you are quite lucky that you can do such things because you are healthy ... Until now I really liked your video's and admire(d) your courage, but this video made me doubt the subscriptions :(

Beautiful. The entire journey. Thank you for sharing.

It's funny how that works in life where you just feel the freedom of enjoyment and not viewing it as a task than you usually flourish in it. It's a mental trick. It's like me and chemistry which I didn't take that seriously and ended up acing a couple of classes in it. However, I took physics seriously and struggled like crazy in it. You're an amazing athlete Eva, and I enjoy the beauty that you bring to everyone. That's your gift.

You may not realize it but Vilk is what what unconditional true love looks like. Bringing a dog into your life is the greatest adventure and best thing that has and will ever happened to you.

@tomquinn5437 writes " Bringing a dog into your life is the greatest adventure and best thing that has and will ever happened to you." I think that bringing a dog into one's life is a great adventure, but I think that bringing a human child into one's life, is _the_ greatest adventure and best thing that can ever happen to a person. And better than having your own progeny, is bringing in a child who would otherwise not have a good home, or perhaps would not have a home at all. Of course, before one does this, just like for a dog, one must prepare for the difficulties that may arise. Why do I say this? I am vegan and I do not like _cause_ any unnecessary suffering, to any animal, or to any human, adult or child. And also, I do not like to _allow_ any children to suffer.

@soilmanted is on the right track. The other example and source of unconditional love is experienced by those of us who are fortunate enough to find and grow with our true life partner.

Stay safe in your travels, Eva.

Eva you're so lucky to be able to run. I remember the video about your running attempt through the Washington Mountains so I think I understand the apprehension you've experienced. I ran most of my life but then when I turned about 40, an peculiar and painful condition (osteochondromatosis) developed in my hips and I can't run any more. Nothing since running has ever brought me as much satisfaction. Running was a gift that brought me joy and kept me wanting more. I hope you can run well into old age and enjoy it as much as you do now. Safe adventures and happy running!

This video really hits home and is inspiring! I am not running something as amazing as your journey. However over the past 6 months I have been on a journey find my love for hiking and running again. Over the past few years I had let myself slip out of those activities and I finally realized my mental and physical health had slipped because of it. It has been awesome finding the joy in long hikes and trail runs again and I feel so much better. The interesting thing is in the past I always ran to be in better physical condition and although that is a great benefit this time around I am finding the joy in just hiking and running for the experiences.

Such a genuine experience. The mountain pool was amazing. Nicely done; courage in action. You ran your own run. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

I am soooo proud of you. Great video. Yes, hitting the wall is a very real thing. I been there many times with my Krav Maga journey. I usually break through by getting angry at myself and I continue with that attitude. I’m so happy that you’re finding the happy with your journey. My happy is breaking through my walls. Thank you for allowing us to share in your adventures.

Anger is definitely a way to deal with the wall!! 😂

Such a beautiful video, story and views! You are a true inspiration! Thanks!

You touch so many people’s hearts, it’s truly amazing. Please know that being a failure has nothing to do with quitting a run, that is courage. And as you always say: the world belongs to the brave! And right now, you are getting yourself back in the world again, let the world hold you in its heart!
