Sick day

Ugh, sore throat, head ache: at home not able to concentrate. Bah sickness.

But, when my minds amok, it comes up with some great ideas, here are two of my best:
1. Hike the Pacific Crest Trail sometime in the next 5 years. (2650 miles Mexico to Canada)
2. Hike the John Muir Trail next summer as a warm up for the PCT. (226 miles)

I'm really excited about these two adventures! I'm going to need to start figuring out a training regimen so I can hike with a heavy pack for long distances. Most people that hike the PCT average 15-20 miles per day, over 6 months. I figure that over the next year I can build up my hiking mileage and do an overnight hike once a month to train my backcountry camping skills, and then by July of next year I can do the JMT in about 3 weeks.

Great idea eh?
So next on my list is some sort of First Aid class in the near future-
