Why did you decide to do it? What do you do for food everyday? How often do you take a shower? Does it get boring and/or lonely?
Edit: just read your blog, I guess I kinda understand the why part now

lulz gotta be honest not so sure about the after school gaming club to teach life skills but its the thought that counts
have fun and props for not taking your muscle so seriously that you are willing to do something like this whereas most people would be panicking after 1 missed workout. is this not why we stay in great shape? workout to supplement life endeavors, not for our life to supplement our workouts.
i always wanted to do this or the pct when I'm a bit older. whichever one is more badass, better view and less "touristy"Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

A buddy of mine hiked the AT last winter. He started at The southern end and made it to somewhere in Virginia.
He legitimately almost died a few times, but mostly because of winter so I'm sure you'll be fine.
He said all the hikers he met were cool, but be careful in the towns....there's people who purposefully look to steal your chit.
Will try to check in for updates every now and then.
Good luckOnce upon a time:

I read a huge imgur post from a guy who did it with his girlfriend. It was extremely interesting.
Should be a major life-changing experience. Best of luck dude.Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
