Ok guys, I am so close to my goal I can almost taste it. I am 215 thats 5ilbs short of my goal and lost 7ilbs in 8 days. I am working on the progress pics and start and finish pics. But, due to a unforseen event, I should hit my goal by next tuesday and 12-13 is my next practice hike and it is my 16th birthday so I will not be at home all day on the 12th but rather hiking up a steep hill in hot weather than having a good time wit my friends. No matter most of them are going with me anyways so it is a win win thing (sort of) but I am still very close to my goal I will post pics as soon as I can.
Thanks 68, I will make sure to do so before my next hike. Sharing is not the only other solution, we also use filters an boil water but where we were there was no source of water other than our buddies (we live in a desert).
On my first pratice hike with my Philmont crew and it was 10 miles and it was about 80 degrees F. I ran out of water and went into heat exhaustion and had no choice but to keep hiking up the hill for 2 more miles. I started to get muscle cramps, weakness, and felt as if Ihad sliped into heat stroke because I had stoped sweating. This was all about a month ago and I am running to build up the energy to last longer on my next hike, because on June 12th My brithday I do not want the next hike to be a death march to me agan. Anyways my question is what do you do if you run ot of water and it is a long hard trip back?
Hey again guys, I was wanting to know, I get up a about 6am, stretch, and then run most days of the week. Seem to feel a bit of hungar once I hit about 1 mile. Sould I wait till after my run or eat a little before hand?
