Pre PCT

As March gets under way, it comes to my realization that in just six weeks, I will be starting my journey on the PCT, 2,600 miles from Mexico to Canada! My head is filled with so many things: Will my best friend, Nanuk Dog be okay? Will I be able to complete this thru hike despite all of my health issues working against me? Will I get bit by a snake or run out of water in the desert? What if I get lost? What if something happens and I am on the Trail? What if my boyfriend decided he does not want me? I know I am not in control of any of these things,but the overwhleming and anxious feelings I have do concern me a bit. I know myself very well, and I know that I am capable of doing this! I will plan to hike at a more moderate pace than other hikers, in effort to not wear down my body so much. Although I have my worries, I am getting excited, very excited, planning all of the trip, reading the guide books, finding and putting together all of my gear, and most importantly trying to get my head in the right place.After all my legs will only follow what my brain says, so it is vital that I am mentally strong.
