Back to Walking

The last couple of weeks have been a little rough.  I caught the cold/flu bug that is going around and had a hard time shaking it.  So, I missed two weekends of great hiking weather.  But, I was able to get in about 6 miles at Umstead State Park today (Sunday).  It was good to just get out and walk a little.  Tried out a new hat (very wide brim).  It will take a while to get used to.

On Wednesday I went to a free class hosted by the REI store in Cary, NC.  The class subject: “Hiking the AT”.  The presenter was a 2009 thru hiker, “Houdini”.  She was very candid about her experiences and the gear she used.  I will likey try to atttend another one of these classes to see what I missed the first time.
