Tom and I are in final planning mode, and today we finalized our itinerary, and our resupply points. We are going to start out at a (hopefully) reasonable pace, and then increase our mileage as we get in better shape. We dont want to start out too cavalier, tough, or ambitious. This morning I also finished another great PCT book: The Pacific Crest Trail, A Hiker's Companion, by Karen Berger and Daniel R. Smith. It outlines the entire trail, and I have spent the past month "translating" it into a southbound version to take with us on our hike. She said something great, that I have really been thinking a lot about lately,
"The only way to get ready to hike a long trail is to hike a long trail."So, while all of our running and training and whatnot will hopefully help, the first few weeks are going to be difficult.
