Lately i have been fighting burnout and it is not pretty. Mostly working 16 hour days and doing everything i can to stay positive and enjoy the 16 hour days. Anyways I have been trying to figure out some sort of break and think i have found one.
The other night i saw a series on PBS about hiking the Appalachian Trail and the Thru-Hikers who walk the entire trail. Pretty inspiring, since the thing is around 2400 miles long. The trip begins in Georgia around the early spring and ends around the end of fall.
Needless to say to say I was enthralled.
I have thought about doing this before but it seems like a bit much to do but as I watched this the hike was broken down into simple incremental goals which make it easier to do. The trip begins in Georgia and the first leg is only 30 miles long. So I am figuring that sounds like a pretty fun trip seeing as how I am in Georgia…so with that said…I am going to plan an early trip through the backwoods for a little re-charging…however…I will wait til spring
