Time to work out so that Isle royal will be less painfull!
I know it’s hard as ** :)

Well this weekend i get to do my first real backpacking trip!
Manistee and north country trail…

• Boots – I got the asolo boots they cost a lot but i tried them on the trail yesterday and can i say my feet are dry and week hiked in puddles and mudd hense all the snow is melting! :)

so exciting!
I have been doing so many thing to prep for this trip!
I so can’t wait!

Well I am prepping my self for this trip!
I have been using the stepper for over 2 weeks now wait 1 month just about! :)
but i normally go 15 minutes every morning and i get an average of 700 steps in that 15 minutes..
so I have been pumping away at that like 5 times a week or more!
now i need to start building up the belly and arms i mean i am going to have about 30lbs on my back so i need to balk up!

well thanks to my lovely bf i now have 1 nice smartwool hiking shirt long sleeve i’m always cold… and 2 pair of nice really super nice underware.. ;)
and i priced the sleeping bag and sleeping pad my shoes and socks.. and more clothing.. i am going to make a list for all the stuff i need!

Well I guess it is a test hike but I plan on doing an 11 mile for my first backpacking trip I will be with some great people and I think i need to prepar for it!
I think i may use
Joesgoals.com for a point system on this!
My Partner and I are going to buy this lazy man work out thing! it’s just like peddles onthe floor and you walk and it changes resistenst so it will be equal to what ever tarrain you may come accross on the island!
we are starting to plan out the days for when we go end of summer august some time… I just can’t wait!
