A new page! Not because I’m new at hiking, by any means, but because several weeks ago, when my iron supplements kicked in and made me realize that the “old and tired” feeling I’d had for the last couple months had been actually caused by something other than age (lol), I became excited about feeling like doing things again, so I made a hiking goal: I want to hike 100 miles between October 1, 2008 and May 31, 2009. It really shouldn’t be that hard, except for making the time, which is why I tried to set an attainable goal. (I’m so bad about setting myself up for failure with unrealistic goals.) On this page, I plan to keep track of my mileage and create some accountability for myself. I usually let others’ plans and desires keep me from reaching personal goals…not that it’s a bad thing to put others first, but I’m trying to practice feeling ok with making my goals a priority and teaching those around me to respect my goals and desires as well. We do teach others how to treat us, you know

A need for surgery in late January caused a temporary setback in my goals…I’m getting back on track now (April 1), realizing that 100 miles won’t get hiked by May 31. As I’ve been thrown off track for two months, I’m adding two months to the finish date, which makes it 100 miles by July 31.
July 25, 2009 – Guess what? I did not get back on track I could list all the excuses…rain, mud because of rain, lack of a partner to go with me…but how ’bout I just get to the nitty gritty? I am setting a new goal…
100 Miles by 2010! Ambitious, you say??? Yep!!
