A Revision and a Reward...

The Revision... 

There is NO WAY I can hike my way through Afoot and Afield in San Diego before 2011 expires! This isn’t just my normal self-doubt speaking, it is impossible! The back cover kindly informed me that there are 220, yes, 220!!!, hikes in the book. Even hiking every day this summer, I couldn’t fit those all in with school, student-teaching, and Logan. So, the goal is revised. I plan on covering at least 80 of those hikes this year with a 30 month goal for the entire book. Some basic math:

220 hikes

30 months

Average of 7.33 hikes a month to stay on track.

I’d have to hike all weekend, every weekend to make that happen. However, that doesn’t account for breaks from school and holidays, so I feel pretty confident that I can complete this goal in 30 months. Now, lets all just cross our fingers and hope I am still living in San Diego for the next 30 months.

The Reward...

In my first post I posed the question of how to pay for everything on the Badass Lifestyle List. I’m working on better solutions to that, but for now, I give you…

Wait for it…..

It’s worth it……
