Hikefest IV

Well, another hiking trip is upon us. I think back to a post I made back in January I think, where I was discussing the pros and cons of going hiking with the guys. I'll have to admit, that at first, I wasn't too keen on the idea. I finally decided to go in late March and I have never looked back since. I am hooked. I'm an addict. I'm a hiking junkie. I don't know that there is anything that can keep me from going hiking now. I'm looking forward to this weekend's hike because

a.) We will be moving from GA into NC

b.) We will be hiking 28 miles. That's right, 28 miles.

To put that in perspective, the first 2 hikes I did were a combined 34 miles. This hike will only be 6 miles shy of those 2 combined! But, I'm up for the task. I've been getting mentally prepared and physically I think as well. I'm working on losing some weight before we leave. I've lost a little, but I want this hike to spur me on to continue to lose weight. The lighter I am the better I will feel. I'm 30 years old and feel like I am starting a new chapter in my life on several different levels. One major thing I can't mention yet, but once it happens, everyone will know. I just want to start this chapter of my life feeling good and being in good physical shape. I want to be able to play ball with my son and continue to go on these hikes without feeling like I might die. Anyways, I will post about my hike once I get back. I promise to add pics. Wish me luck and if I don't make it back, I love you all.
