[pct-l] PCT Training Program

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

I came across a very interesting program that might be excellent  for hikers. 
 Go to  New-Lifestyles.com and take a look at their products. 
I got their $34.95 kit with the SW-701 pedometer (21g or .8  ounce).  This 
pedometer is supposed  to be one of the best for step and distance counting 
according to my  research. 
They have some Challenge Charts on walking routes in the  U.S. and an 
interesting guide on  their 10,000 step per day (5-miles) walking program. 
If you added a day pack with some water bottles for weight, you  could really 
have a great training program for the trial. 
I might take the pedometer on the Grand  Canyon expedition to see how the 
distance function works on the  trail.  That might be a VERY  valuable thing to 
have while hiking. 
Cheers, Switchback the  Pedometer
