While it is not quite hiking season here in FL yet I have over the last month begun some preparations for the big 2016 AT Hike and my to do's before the hike seems to get longer not shorter. The other day my Partner and I had a discussion on the AT venture and it went really well, so well that his position has become one of support towards this big venture. This is a huge item to have checked off my list!


One month ago to the day I also started some simple physical & mental training for the hike. This has taken the form of Yoga and personal meditation. One month ago I was a disaster with balance, posture, strength and form; today I am a little better off and discovered through this training that I really enjoy the yoga practice. To ensure I remain committed to training and moving forward on this journey I have signed up for a 30-day Yoga Challenge. The Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual benefits from Yoga are sure to help me all the more in preparing for this amazing adventure.


Finally I also managed to dust off some of my old gear and gather a few items that have collected around the house over the years to put together the beginnings of a test pack to run on the FL Trail with this hiking season. Lots still to do with gear but it was great to go through what I had and see the changes in the hiking gear world over the last 10 years.
