I have done some real tough hikes in the backcountry in Yosemite, Grand Canyon etc. I was never able to lose weight because I had to really load up on carbs to even finish and the end of the day of utter desperation and fatigue.0

I'm a hiker too and I'm lucky because I live in the heart of the Blue Ridge mountains! I've been hiking a couple of times a week since the weather turned warm again. This weekend I'm doing my first endurance hike...10 miles with a 30-40 lb pack on my back. Training to hike 60 miles of the Appalachian Trail in May. I'm not a skinny thing either but I'm gonna give it my best shot. Good luck!!0

That's great Tannie and thanks for organising. As I'm a day ahead of you, my miles for yesterday (18 April) are 3.75 miles.0

I know what you mean Norminv, I've been so tired its as much as I can do to keep putting one foot in front of another. Day 3 seems to be the worst and then the body (legs) find new strength.
But walking around town etc will help us all lose weight I'm sure. I walk 5 miles home from work a couple of times a week, as well as going for short hikes. Hard to find time for real hiking :-(
Kattamer, it sounds lovely where you live. I've not been to the US, but you have some very beautiful country0 -
Hey I'd love to join too, I've never been part of a virtual travel so it should be fun. Plus I'm very excitted that we can count all kinds of miles. Today I did 3 miles of speed walking/ jogging.0

I always bring a typical trail mix. Protein is even more important than carbs in any endurance sport. Even just to go exercise at the YMCA, Ill have a bit of cheese or yogurt before I go and it ALWAYS serves me better than carb based foods.0 -
I logged a mile! Its been nasty out here in the valley!
I am building a house on Saturday so... Not sure Ill get any miles in that day or Sunday. lol.
NY Miles- 216- 13.29= 202.71!
Making real headway! We are around the Meriden CT area. Its a beautiful castle town!
I thought we would like to see the scenery as we go along.0 -
Thank You for posting the Picture!! It reminds me of the Castle at Turner Falls that I climbed all over on my Birthday last year!!0
-
This one is called Castle Craig.... Its in some park there in Meriden. I love the view from the top! If you notice the lush valley behind it at any rate. That view could only be enhanced by being above it.0

Hello, everybody! I joined MFP a week ago and love the website. I live in Gettysburg, PA and hike on the battlefield every day.
Miles today: 30 -
Thanks for the photo, it will be great to see where we are passing through.
I did 3.84 miles yesterday (19 April). Will post todays in a couple more hours :-)0 -
I logged a mile or so today. LOTS of walking and moving about as I was busy building houses for a community project. SO looking forward to todays end so I can see where we have made it to thus far!0

:drinker: Friday's Miles = 3.65 Mile
Part of that was after I put my Client to bed and her Electricity went out! I lit a Candle in the Living Room and one in the Kitchen. Since her house has an "Open Floor Plan" those two candles gave enough light for me to walk a 'Circuit' through the Kitchen, Living Room, and Dining Room. It was a great way to stay awake in the Dark.0 -
Is the Castle in Hubbard Park? If I am looking at the Wikipedia Map correctly, it has lots of Hills in the Park and some nice Water Features which are similar to the Water Spouts in My City Park. I will have to go to the Park and walk up and down some of the Hills!!0

Happy Sunday everybody. I did 2.67 miles yesterday (20 April).0

Happy Sunday, Early Bird, LOL!! It is still Saturday Evening here!!0

You are 12 hours behind us I'm afraid, so I always add the date with my miles so you know what day I mean.
Lovely overcast, cool day here that may finally deliver rain. Its been a very long, hot, dry summer here and autumn (fall) is slow to arrive, so we need the rain badly. But my morning walk was lovely - lots of birds, swans and ducks on the river, magpies and wattlebirds in the trees singing melodically. Good day to be alive0 -
I'm going on the appalachian trail in a week!0
