Good Morning! I am in training for my job in Alaska. I get up every morning and work out on my Wii for an hour. Twenty minutes of yoga then 40 minutes of aerobics or 40 minutes of strength training which I alternate daily. Then it is off for a walk with my dog. This mornings hike was almost 2 miles. Each day I have been increasing the length of the walks. After a day of work it is off for another hike. This morning I feel confident.
Of course, I am walking on asphalt and in King Salmon there is only one paved road. This morning I walked along the hillside in the tall grass for part of the walk. I flushed up a pheasant unexpectedly which startled the heck out me. Of course I jumped. That will be great if I unexpectedly find a grizzly in my path and I jump. So much for staying calm.
I also was not carrying anything. I am sure there will be equipment that needs to be carried. I don't have to worry about obsticles on the road but mother nature likes her paths lined with logs, bushes and little unknown surprises. So I have 18 days left before I leave. I think I need to change some training habits. Like wearing my backpack with some weight thrown in for good measure. I need to find some paths through natural habitat and maybe an incline or two since I will have a few mountains to handle out there. Shouldn't be a problem between work, packing, planning, and appointments I have to get in before I leave.
