[pct-l] tendonitis...minor injuries

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

Dear Toby

I have no experience of tendonitis. I have never experienced joint
trouble, because my bones and joints are large.
Many PCT hiker might dislike boots. But, to reduce the impact of
tendon, the boots(with soft insole) and trekking poles are proved to
be effective.
