No exercise today other than running round, round, up, down, here, there and everywhere getting ready to leave in the morning.

However, I did e-mail the 63 yr old woman looking for thru' hiking partners in 2008. As I wrote to her I realized I have been thinking I would try to get back on the AT in 2008. I have decided to remove the "try" and make it a definite committment, or it won't happen. Now what I need is the courage to tell people this so it becomes really, really real.

So I told EJ.
