2015. My Year.

Just a few short hours from the New Year, and folks, 2015 is going to be my year!
This is the year I will attempt something pretty extraordinary.
This year I will leave the "real world" far behind.
This year I will shed my old life and trade it for something new and exciting.
Three short months until that cataclysmic change.

Four months till PCT!

Lately I have been feeling like the days are slipping away from me, sliding as easily through my fingertips as grains of sand.
How is it that the days, weeks, months are whizzing by, but every minute passes SO slow!
Every minute of every day that I am not asleep, the future is on my mind. I'm so close, but so far! Life is boring here in civilization. Sooooooooooooo booooooooooorrrriinnnnnnnggggggg. Insert distressed emoticon here.

Bring on the adventure!!!

Here's what's happening right now in trail prep world:
- GOT MY GUIDEBOOK! Two days ago. Already 150 pages in.
- Trail schedule is coming along. Right now the estimated start date is April 23, 2015, giving me enough time to reach Lake Morena for the Annual Day Zero Kick Off event. I'll post the full schedule once I have it tacked down.
- New gear! Solar panel to charge my phone, food dehydrator to prep meals for the trail, LifeStraw water filter, Black Diamond headlamp, Smartwool base layers, compass, trekking poles, etc!
- Researching sleeping bags. I'm upgrading my crappy 2 year old synthetic fill bag to a high quality, high loft down bag, but there's so many choices!
- TRAINING TIME! Joined a gym next to the shop I work at to get in some muscular conditioning over the next 3 months before I go. Gotta get in shape for those 20 mile days!
- Perpetually growing excitement.
