yearly goal – having a laugh

Its better to at least HAVE goals and attempt them rather than not have any.

If you don't have any goals, how will you know if you are successful?

That's only 4 miles/ per day. Quit your job, leave the family, PRIORITIES MAN! :-)

My New Year resolution is not to make one. Haven't failed as yet.

Change your goal!

Make it 25 nights, and the miles will follow

By the way ,my goal is 52 nights in the field per year. I rarely make it, but I have fun trying.

i like that idea – worry more about getting out and not how far i traveled. next year 25 nights is pretty doable, esp. if i take my oldest out and have some backpacking fun with him. he's good for 5 miles max.

This year I set no goals. So anything I do is stellar. Hahhah!

The highlight of my year was March 27th when I walked a whopping 1.10 miles after not being allowed to walk/hike for about 20 weeks. Oh yeah, I smoked it at like 4 mph ;-) (That was 3 days after giving birth to my 2nd child)

Outside of 3 long dayhikes so far where baby Walker stayed home I am hauling the baby so my miles are short. 3-4 miles of hauling him is not easy. He is a big baby, in a front carrier.

But hey….as long as one gets out that is all that matters! :-) I am having a blast having no goals!

This summer on a full-on touron trail having fun:

Walking yet another touron trail at Rainier:

You know you have no goals when simply going to altitude for baby’s first time is an exciting day ;-P

Sarah – that is AWESOME!

Mine wasn't quite so dramatic but after my first BP trip last summer (11 days solo in the Smokies), I figured I'd easily get at least a few other trips done in a year (some with one or more of my sons), but finally made my second trip a month ago. This coming year SHOULD be much better. LOL
