10/29 life post trail

well ive been home for some time now and not a day gose bye that i dont wish i was back on the trail its crazy how much you miss jest walking in the woods. ive picked up some new hobbys post trail like running i now love to run i try to get in a few miles every night but do to a toe issue i have been abel to run for a week or so, but befor that i was up to 10.3 miles as my long run and 5 miles about avg. another thing is climbing i had done it befor the trail and liked it but at my bigger size it was tuf so now that im down to a smaller size im going to give it another go and start climbing more. i have found that i sleep a lot beeter in my tent then i do in a house so i spend 2 night a week camping most weeks i have spent more time in my tent after my hike then i did the 2 years leeding up to my hike is kind of crazy. work work work , im lucky that i have been abel to get a lot of hours up at outdoor school geting to spend my time outside and hiking with some great people. so un like most the hikers i spent time on the trail with im not locked in a bilding, so i think that has helped me a lot i dont kno how i wold be mind wise if i had to spend my days inside. im planng my next hike its going to be the PCT in 5 years that shud give me some time to save up $$. i jest hope i can hold it togather for that long, ther is so much about the trail that i miss not jest the hiking and beeing outside but the people i was spending my days with , im lucky to have had the chang to meet so many amazeing hikers and non hikers that helped along the way, thank you to every one that i meet and every one that saported me along the way. keep on keeping one till the next big hike wiffle ball GA-->ME 12'

Allmost there

78 miles to go I can't believe I'm so close to the what ever it is in 78 miles whether its jest the end of an amazing trip or if its jest the gate way to many more great trips,( I'm leaning towards the latter)

6/29 its been some time

Sorry about  not posting as much as I did to start, so much hapens daily that it slips my mind, well ive been hiking with the same people for a long time now, and the bonds that have formed will last a life time we all go tho the same pains and hardships not on the same days but we all know what its like to be standing at mile 25 and feel like you cant move but still have miles to go before you set your pack down for the night. Ive made it tho nj,ny and am now in ct sens the last post . Jest about700 miles lift to go,( on this trip that is ) I jest had a week off the trail and spent the time driving one of the guys I'm hiking with home to ky for family maters, as he lift his drivers licenses at home he couldn't rent a car so as i sed before the friendships out here are of a different breed then those in the non hiking world, so right now I'm on my way back to Kent ct and the trail

Happy trails
keep on keeping on

wild ponies

5/9 mile 630, pearisburg VA

it is so hard to leave town on a rainy day , so hard that im not leaveing but wen you jam 6 hikers in a room its nice and cheap. the next 4 days there calling for good weathers so we will push out then. yesterday starting at 12pm i did my frist merathon day i hiked 27+ miles befor 8 pm, in that hike i had a 2000ft clime a 1000ft clime and some littel guys so it wasnt flat. alltho lastnight i was done wen i got to town im felling great today and if it wasnt for the rain i would be fine with doing a nother 20 mile day. I'll have some videos up in a few min. working on a full sized key board is fun im so used to my phone , "keep on keep'en on " wiffleball
