    i may have misled you onmy 4000 list. i only have the ones in new hampshire. still need a few[katahdin] in maine and a few in vermont to knock off the new england 4000 fters. i have a few of the ones in new york. yea, im aware of all those lists that are out there. the top 100 is a good list to knock off. i think some of the top 100 are bushwacks. not 100% sure but i think i remember hearing that somewhere.....it could be a different list altogether.

    the rmc 100 is a list of 100 trails, no bushwacking, and when you mentioned the 4000fters, i assumed NH. ive only done K old speck and baldpate in ME.finishing NH does involve a few bushwacks though.

    now i see what the rmc 100 is. it must be all the trails run by the randolph mountain club. i tell you what. ever since i knocked off the 4000 fters i have been hiking the different trails in the white mtns. my maps are better than 50% complete. i highlite each trail after knocking it off. back in august i did the six husbands trail[near edmunds col][gret gulf wilderness] after climbing washington via the tuck/lion head trail. that six husbands trail was awesome. we ended up finishing around 10:30 at night. what a great hike. i have some pics in my gallery...

    I resolve to not make any more resolutions because I never keep them. Feel pretty safe about this one though!

    Among others is to spend no more than a one hour block per day on WB & Facebook combined.

    And add in the following:

    Going on at least 4 hiking / backcountry fishing trips of 3 days or more each this coming year.

    Selling off old hiking gear and golf clubs and a host of other under-used "stuff".

    Stop smoking again. Breathing is kinda an important factor in the uphills.

    i have a friend that will smoke if he is going uphill, downhill,flat ground at night inside his sleeping bag and just about anywhere he desires. the kid is a hiking machine to boot. the only time i can pull away from him is on the long uphills..i have some rather unique hiking friends, trust me....they usually pull something out of their arse every trip....

    I'm turning 50 in June, so most of my resolutions will have to do with getting in shape by then.
    I've tried and failed enough times I know it isn't easy, or getting easier. Still working on the plan.

    ya gotta start out slow and remember not to expect giant gains immediatly, your geting older and it just doesnt work like it use to. the mind is a powerful tool for training. if you expect too much going into the program and nothing hapens your esteem will suffer. always think your going forward. just starting and maintaing any kind of workout program would be a plus. over training in the begining could be a real no no if you go too hard, go slow. its not about the immediate results but what u acheive in the long run. treat working out like starting a thruhike. ya need to be slow n steady early in order to go the long haul..
