icing

Current location: White Mountains National Forest, NH

Accumulated miles: a lot. seriously.

The other day I was walking and thinking about the fact that I may just walk all the way to Maine. Crazy. I am about 130 miles from the border. I never thought I would walk this far... insane. If all goes well, and my body doesnt complelty fall apart I just might make it.

I have been thinking about why I came out here in the first place... what was I looking for? I know I was looking for peace... for a place to reconnect with who I am and who I want to be... with the things I have lost sight of and desperately love about who I am. I have found those things and more while walking over huge mountains... getting in likely the best shape of my life... and making friends for a lifetime. I am blessed.

Now what? Now the idea of getting to Maine... of more laughter with friends, amazing views, big mountains conquered... and continuing to find peace is all just icing on the cake. I get to have today... and I only get one shot at today... no reruns... so I want to experience the rest of my time out here as icing on an amazingly wonderful cake. I'm blessed!!

I have been keeping track of my food intake and soon I will blog it... along with what I do every day (hint: eat, walk, sleep) but for now... thanks for your love and support... I'm headed to sleep tonight knowing this experience has been NOTHING like I thought it would be... and I'm blessed by that. =)
