Let the training begin?--An update of sorts.

Graduation is over, Christmas has passed and the New Year approaches.

It is time to get back on track to realizing my goals, and I have no idea where to start!

We don't have snow (yet) this winter, just a ton of rain. Thank goodness I have waterproof hiking boots to get out in the wet, muddy weather to start my training! Now, to just find a buddy who can train with me during the week when the hubby is working.

Still on the hunt for properly fitting workout wear, which as I posted previously is not easy because it seems like stores an manufacturers prefer to ignore the size 14/16 girls and concentrate on the svelte size 4s of the world. Sports bras are impossible in my band & cup size (I have to order my bras from Poland and even then they are custom made to my size) so my only choices include a regular bra under 3 "sport bras"....at least until I can hire someone to custom make a sport bra for me as well.

I've been diving into my AllTrails app, which I installed on my phone, to find new hiking places around me so that I can start challenging myself to do  more difficult and longer treks.

I'm into the exciting part of setting a large goal. That euphoria that overwhelms you when you finally are able to make the time to focus on the goal and set real plans to achieve it. I don't want to be unprepared, but I'm afraid that I'll focus on a small piece and miss something huge.

And still......I make lists, plot maps and drool over gear I don't own....yet.
