Getting ready for a very long (2,650 mile/4265 km) walk

I've mentioned recently that I'm getting ready to hike the Pacific Crest Trail this year. My start date is getting closer, so I've really been jumping fully into training. Lots of hiking.

That was sure a lot - both for last year and this one.  But you've made those big hard decisions, they're done, and now you what you've got ahead of you are all those tasks of rebuilding better than before - ONWARD!  It's going to be great.
