Absinthe.......It's not just for breakfast anymore.
Well, I can't believe that I'm actually considering doing the whole thing again. What am I thinking? I will definitely opt for a mid to late April start.

Why the heck not? Life's too short, right?? I initially thought April 2, but I know I'm going to be getting a slow start (slow & steady win the race, right?), so I'm giving myself a padding at the beginning. Thinking around mid-March. I'd like to be at Fontana Dam on the 31st. Our wedding anniversary (#25) is on 4/1 I'm planning right now to meet up with the hubby there.
You know, if for some reason I couldn't finish the hike this year, I would definitely try and try again....but that's just me.

I w/o nearly everyday, but I have hip 'issues' (take Celebrex for arthritis). I want to up my walking over this year. If I can get myself up to some reasonable mileage 4-5x/wk I should be in good shape. I'm ok as longe as I keep moving, it's when I stop that it becomes a problem!

I'm still trying to convince myself that quitting my job isn't a really bad idea in the current economy, but I'm definitely leaning toward hiking next year.
Single, no kids, living in a town I only sort of like and working at a job I mostly don't like, but it pays the bills. No time like the present, right?
Should be leaving ~March 1st as I'll have a free ride then.
Tried in 09. Made it to Front Royal before I got sick and hurt myself trying to keep hiking while I was weak. Planning on hiking out of Damascus from Trail Days 2011, because Virginia was one illness and injury after another, and finishing what I started.
See yall out there!
Ooh, I'm so excited - first hopeful sign hubby may let me do a modified southbound hike in '11. Need to get VA done though so that part is completed (and I won't be away from home base too long). Of course also have to see where my work stands. But it would be ME to Penn Mar, PA and then Damascus to Springer (with Penn Mar to VA finished up this year). Can't do a true thru but close.
i and another friend NoBo. march 2011.
I'll be 52, turning 53 on the trail next year. My 16, turning 17 yo will be hiking with me.
