So, here i am, less than a year out. It’s hard to put down exactly how i’m feeling; it’s a myriad of emotion. Truly!
For starters, i’m just as excited as I’ve ever been, just more anxious. At this point, the dehydration is going well, same with the vacuum sealing. i took an updated inventory last weekend and know I have roughly 100 dinners and 75 lunches to put together. Breakfast is pretty much done with the exception of vacuum sealing more milk, granola, oatmeal and pancake mix. But that involves math, and at this point, I’d rather not.
The one thing that could hinder my leaving next April 9th is finances. I NEED to raise $15,000 or i can’t go. Plain and simple. I need sponsorships both personal and businesses and I need to fundraise. I’m planning a couple quiz nights, an information session with an entry fee, and talking to everybody and anybody who will listen about what it is i’m doing. If you’re at all interested in sponsoring me, email me at janine_kraft@outlook.com, please include ‘PCT sponsorship’ or the like in your subject line so I don’t delete it thinking it’s spam.
tonight, Scott and I are going camping together. He’s already packed and ready to go…so am I…when I get off work that is lol. I didn’t complain about working Good Friday, given its a stat and I wasn’t prepared to lose hours when I’m in ‘make money’ mode. The future of my hike depends on me being willing to be alone in a quite office today for several hours. Plus time and a half pay is very much welcome 🙂
Every morning, i still walk and every sunday i pack the bag and hike an insane amount of kilometres. The other day I did a challenge with my tracker and completed a NYC simulated 26.2 mile marathon in 3 days with my steps. Things like this keep me focused when the pain is intense a quarter of the way through my sunday trek, I remember what it is I’m training or. Doesn’t dull the pain, just reminds me I have a purpose and a goal to work towards. It makes this whole process feel a little less daunting.
