Hi fellow thru hike attempters! Wishing you the best of luck on preparing, and lots of adventures and successes during your hike!
I attempted to hike from New York to Maine with my ex gf in 2010, but had to get off due to some ill-fitting boots that had just gone too far in their damage (properly fitting shoes are SO IMPORTANT). But the AT put the hiking bug in me, and I've been hiking ever since. But now I'm ready, ready not only to hike that ~800 miles, but the whole thing!
I'm currently residing in Houston, TX. I'm also training to run in the Houston marathon in January. When I'm not running, hiking or working, I'm avidly writing or reading, or practicing human suspension. My interests run the gammit!
I'm so eager to be on the trail.. I've got a few personal goals to accomplish while out there and I'm looking forward to all the adventures and people that I will meet on this great adventure!
