It’s been a while since my last post; here’s what’s been happening over the past two weeks.
I finally picked up my pack from Appalachian Outfitters. Jonathan, the owner, has been working with me to get a pack that fits just so and has had to order and reorder a few times. He’s been a fantastic help and Appalachian Outfitters will definitely be the first stop for the rest of my equipment needs. Thanks Jonathan!!
Last Sunday I took the pack out for a test drive at Paris Mountain. I dropped a little weight in it and did about 7-miles; mostly hiking but with some running to see how it felt. It was a beautiful day and the pack felt OK. Thanks Steve for showing me around the place.
I received some fantastic music selections from Beth (two full CDs!!!!!!), Richard, Steve, and Jim Cason. I love the variety of choices that everyone has provided and I’ll be thinking about you all as I cross the desert with music in my ears. If anyone else has some suggestions please don’t be shy; I’m crazy open-minded when it comes to music.
No financial donations this update, but I’m hopeful that people will consider that one additional charitable donation before the end of the year to help with taxes! GOTR can always use the help and I encourage you to check out their website to see what it’s all about. www.girlsontherun.org
Thanks again to everyone for your constant support. We are four months and counting.
