Prep Day 2

Woke up early and hiked the 3 mile route with 21 pound rucksack. To my surprise my feet are feeling it. I didn't think such a light weight would make a difference which means it's a good thing I have two months to prepare.

Dropped the bag when I got home and walked the mile to the gym for a light free weight workout. Round trip is two miles so 5 miles total for the day.

Definitely need to build up some callouses on the feet.

Prep Day 1 - 29 April 2010

Walked 3 miles with 21 pound Army surplus rucksack. Was pretty easy but have notice my feet are a bit sore and legs are tighter.

It is my intention to build up to a fifty pound pack before any attempt at the Appalachian trail.
