[pct-l] Will he be ready for a thruhike ?

[Stewart Johns]

I know someone who just started hiking. He really enjoyed his first hike,  
where he did a quarter mile in 40 minutes. Do you think he can someday do a  
thruhike?
 
 
Yep… sure can.  If he has the will.  And of course that will will be tested.  
But that is ok.  That is the way it works.  Have enough desire and you can 
accomplish anything, but it’s not a free ride.  He has to put in the effort, and 
never quit.  It’s the ones that keep going that make it, not necessarily the 
strongest or the fastest,  or the ones with the best gear, but the ones with the 
most desire that make it to the end.  It’s all about character.  I wish your 
friend all of those.
