So I've thought about this quite a bit, hiking the AT this year, end of March/Early April.
I was originally going to hike it next year, but due to the loss of my friend, as well as the end of a relationship that I thought I would be in forever, I need to get out and back to my roots. I've been discussing this in the models only forum, and decided that I'm going to be taking it public now, and having this thread to hold me accountable! :-D
Today was my training day #1 morning: I went for a 3 mile hike/walk, lasted a little under an hour. I'm going to go to the gym later for some weight training.
I've made a Chipin if anyone wants to help the cause, all the money would go towards gear and money for the trail (staying at hostels/motels, eating in town, refilling food etc) from my research you should have at least $1.5-$1.75 a mile, and the trail is 2,173 miles long.
