Exactly 7 weeks today we plan to be spending the first night of many on the Appalachian Trail. The closer it gets the more excited we become. Over 5 years of planning is coming to a head. A few months ago I had thoughts of excitement and also thoughts of what in the heck am I getting myself into. The fears seem to be fading and anticipation of our adventure is taking over. Knock on wood everything seems to be falling into place like this is meant to be.
We are trying to get our bodies prepared as best as you can for this physical and mental challenge. Losing weight, hiking in the park and soon some intense weight training so our bodies don't go into shock.
No deadlines, phones, road rage, bills, television - out of the rat race and into the great outdoors with fresh air, sunshine, rain, cold, heat and many other challenges we haven't even thought of.
