Getting Ready for a Big One!

I am blogging partially to keep everyone updated (everyone meaning possibly just Cinnamon and Beth... does anyone else check the blog?) and partially to hold myself accountable tomorrow morning. What do I need to be held accountable for you might ask? Well, I plan on doing a long walk tomorrow. I'm going to rise early (hopefully without hitting the snooze too many times) and trek out for a long morning walk down the old Mt. Vernon Trail via King Street.

I've been thinking (read "kind of worrying") the past month about what sort of gear I will need to purchase for the 3DAY... then low and behold... I've found that with each concern/need I voice my husband announces that we already own it! For instance, one day I arrived home from a walk and voiced my longing for a pedometer. Chris looked at me and asked "would my handheld GPS be okay?" Then while we were in the Smokies he hands me his backpack to use that is light, has comfortable straps, and... drumroll please... has a camel pak!! I could not have been happier! Turns out marrying an Eagle Scout has its perks. So I'm going to make a new playlist for my mp3 player, fill up the camel pak, figure out how to use the GPS, and then I'll be one high tech long distance walker tomorrow morning!
