1067 Days to go! I’ll be using this post to update my fitness progress each Monday until we depart on the hike. Thanks to Steve for leading me to the website “myfitnesspal.com” which has been a great help in allowing me to track my calorie intake and exercise. My personal goals for the years […]
Shoes, Shoes, Shoes. Those are my wife’s three favorite words. In thinking about all the planning and logistics needed by Steve and I prior to starting this hike of the Appalachian Trail, I have quickly come to the realization that “shoes” is probably going to be the one dominant word that I associate with […]
I have been toying with ideas for gift items for the Two Hiking Idiots fan club and for our adoring public once we have all those book and movie deals. I wanted to start light, so here are a few T Shirts and a coffee mug to start: Obviously I have too much time on […]
Being the make it up as I go along type, my “routine ” is very … let’s call it flexible. By someone who actually has an organized life’s standards, my life would appear to be a relaxed form of chaos.

I do look like Santa Claus” Steve and his Sister/Manager Lisa came up with some good ideas concerning your tracking our progress as we train for the next 1000+ days.

As Mark said, I have been feverishly pretending I have a clue about making websites for a day and a half now. With a fair amount hair pulling (fortunately that does not hurt me much), I have managed to get us a functioning website that (mostly) resembles the original.
