Hike-a-Thon 2010!

It's almost time!  I am now registered for hike-a-thon and ready to start raising money!  Fortunately, I don't need to start counting my miles until August because I am spending more time with ice-packs than anything else right now.  My right calf is tight, and my left knee is hurting...so if I try to hike and favor one, I irritate the other.  I hope it starts to feel better soon--I really want to race in the Chewelah Chataqua Challenge this weekend.  It should be good by August anyway, and I am trying to hike 300 miles for H-A-T this year.  Follow the link at the top to check on my fund-raising status, and follow this blog to see how I'm doing on mileage! 
 A couple of pictures from last year's H-A-T:  The first was an attempt to look like I was walking on water.  The second is me sitting on a giant cedar stump along the road leading to the trailhead.  You can't tell from the picture, but the stump was hollow in the center.  I was about 6' up, and terrified I was going to fall into the stump and not be able to get back out!
