Starting 2020 off on the right foot. my marathon 12 hour session on the PS4 morphed seamlessly into a four scrambled egg, two fried egg, bacon-o-rama sausage fest at the local Waffle House. this is all prepatory training for my annual hike through the Great Smoky Mountains in 15 days. probably wouldnt have hurt to pocket some of today's bacon in case I come across any bears. when I started this annual hike some 8 or 9 years ago, I had went into one of the local stores in Pigeon Forge planning on carrying pepper spray with me but the guy working there told me pepper spray only makes'em madder. so now I just trek it freestyle live without a net. I wish I could do it again every summer also but I'm positive I'd run into Yogi & Boo-Boo at that time of year. I'd say my annual trek is more adventure than fitness though. but since I do this every MLK weekend, that message inspired me; I have a dream when I retire I will trek the whole of the Appalachia in 6 months. 18 years to go.
