Monotony of Menotomy

Yesterday was my last official "training day" before the trail. I looped around Menotomy rocks park about 6 times, making it as hilly as possible with my route selection. I also did the stairs near the house about 100 times. Overall, it was a very good workout, but fairly boring. The AT should be more exciting...I hope!

I have to ship out some resupply packages and finish sealing the tent. Some other small details to attend to, but other than that, I can't wait to start, if for no other reason then to stop spending money! (Purchased rechargeable batteries today...yikes!)

Eight days and counting.....

I just read about some Lithium batteries by Energizer (e2), while not rechargeable, operate between -40 and 140 F degrees, have a shelf life of 15 years, and last about 6-times longer. They're also 1/3 lighter than standard alkalines.

Don't know if you'd want to switch, but at least good to know.
