Aug is almost here and the departure date arriving quickly! I have about four more weeks to train. I started the summer at 166 # and now I am 154 #. I feel much healthier and in shape for the trip. If nothing else it feels good to be back in shape and running with my son and hiking with Annette. We all have benefited in more ways than one. It was nice to spend hours talking with Isaac and talking during hikes about growing up and nature and his future. He is 13 and these days seems more important than any others during his childhood. Annette and I spent many hours during hikes talking about our family and goals and etc...it has been a really good process with more rewards than I had planned from start.

Aug 5 ran 2 miles

Two more weeks to train then a week off then it is elk hunting time.
My wind is good and my leg s feel strong. I should be better off now with all the hard work this summer.
Little John:
you are way ahead of me, guess I will just have to slip on the backpack head to the mountains and hope it don't kill me. any way the weather is cooling off and I am getting excited for a back country elk hunt. 58 and still doing it the hard way. Good luck. Kenneth
