Great weekend! We took the new packs on a 6 mile practice trail (no small feat considering the heat and the 13 extra pounds in my pack). Afterwards I really enjoyed trying out my new smoothie maker. Mmmm…So good and refreshing! Although I’m afraid I may now be addicted to mixed berry smoothies.
I’m pleased today to be feeling no ill effects from yesterday’s hike. The next test will be an overnighter with about 25 lbs in the pack. I’m feeling strong and confident, so…Bring it on!

Your training for the Appalachian Trail went very well for you! I can't imagine hiking 6 miles in the heat with a 13 pound backpack. Of course I haven't been in the shape you're in for quite a few years! I admire your dedication and fortitude. When will you be doing your overnight trek? Do you live near the Appalachian Trail or do you have a ways to travel before you get there? You sound like you're ready and willing to do it! Also Kim, being addicted to mixed berry smoothies is not necessarily a bad thing! Thankfully you're not addicted to some less healthy substance!

Thanks! I feel really lucky to have found something I really enjoy doing that motivates me to stay in shape. I won’t be tackling the overnighter for at least two weeks because my daughter will be visiting and I don’t want to miss a single minute that I have to spend with her.
I live in Indiana so it is about a 6 hour drive to the area in NC where we will be hiking the Appalachian Trail. It may sound silly, but I’m looking forward to it as a kind of Grand Adventure.
