I will be on the PCT before I know it. I just found out from another hiker that there will be 5 of us going for the record. I was hoping it would be just me & Julien, but now it will be more of a race. I'm not that experianced when it comes to hiking. Sure I'm a trail runner and I have been out for 21 days but this is different and these guys have experience doing long trail. I'm not one to study and get all into it. I have a just go out and do it kinda attitude. I need to be in the best shape mentally & physically to stay ahead of these guys.
I beleive I'm starting before all of them. Looks like there will be no f**ing around for me in Julien.
Well I do like a challenge ;) Catch me if you can boys ;)
Me & Julia going up Mission Peak. She only went to the top with me. I tried to get her to carry my pack but she wouldn't :(
Me on the top, what a awesome day. 5 hours 15 mile with my pack.

You can do it Catra. I'm sending fast running, good feeling energy vibes your way for your race all the way from Minnesota. That attitude of yours is tough competition. Remember to feel all your joy. Michelle
still snow on the trail here in Oregon on PCT just an FYI, make sure and factor that in ( I am sure you have) I just crossed over the pass near Sisters Oregon and lots of snow right now, keep u posted as looking forward to running with you for a section. ( since PCT is 10 minutes from my house should be easy) are you going totally self supported or can you get assist along the way in terms of food etc??
Hi Mike thanks so much!
Catra
Julien-
I hope you are training hard. Please try and get copies of the PCT books in French if you can.
I'm going to do a three day 96 mile fastpack for training in a couple weeks.
Ju these guys have done the PCT before so we do have to be on top of our game.
It's going to be all work & no play ;)
XOXO.
Catra
Hey Jo Lynn-
I will figure out a day I can meet you and Boomer.
We will have to schedule a slow day to take Rocky because Boomer is very fast and Rocky is a lot slower I think ;)
It's the short legs.
Catra
Hi Michelle-
Thanks so much. I will need them vibes :)
Catra
Hey Drew-
Hopefully there will be less snow when we pass through in July.
Self supported or unassisted eans we don't have a crew along the way.
From my readings people have had friends come out with resupply and they even stay in motels.
We will try and stay on the trail as much as possible we have to go off to resupply.
Since you live so close to the trail maybe we could send a resupply to your home if that's cool.
What trail junction do you live near???
This week I'm doing my resupply list.
Thanks so much you rock!
Catra

Hi Ju-
