i received my boots and backpack in the mail this week. the boots are huge but fit good. my size 14 weighs 1 lb 2 oz more than the listed size nine (3 lb 4 oz vs. 2lb 2oz). i got in a 45-minute run midweek. my company had their annual fishing tournament saturday and we had a birthday party on sunday..... so i didn't make it to the trail this week but loaded the pack with 30 pounds of erin's dumbell weights and headed to the gym. i walked an hour on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the stairclimber. the weight was overwelming at first and was the only thing i could think about. i'm not sure i completely understand all the adjustments on my backpack but, once i do, i should be able to wear the pack better. soon i tuned it out and the time when quick. it has been three hours since this hike and my lower back is feeling it. we will test it out on myakka trail this coming memorial day weekend.
i found out this week that the trip will require a passport (travel to canada requires a passport starting 6/1/09). i submitted my application on friday.
