March 8th, 2012


Well here goes! I  am going hiking leaving March 20th. I am super excited! The last week  or so here has been tough. Its been full of packing, working, and studying. I have told a lot of folks that i am going hiking. I love how different the responses can be.  Some are worried about what i will do for food and water. Others worry about bears and snakes. Many are worried about me having a job after the trail. I am most worried about coming back and having to put gas in my truck $!
  I also run into the folks who are full of support. Some have done something similar, know someone who has, or are wishing they had. They aren't worried about my insurance, 401k, or what i will do when i get home. They know, like i do , that things have a funny way of just working out.
   I have three sponsors for my hikes, all providing their goods for the trip. Superfeet has been so generous, giving me three pairs of insoles, as well as a shirt for my hikes. Balance bar gave me nearly 50 bars and a great shirt as well. Gu has given me a prodeal and is going to send a care package! I am so lucky to have some great support for this crazy summer of hiking!
