[pct-l] Pct hike summer 2013

[Chris Anderson]

lol...somebody probably does have a pct workout plan...My idea of a pct workout is getting out every weekend peaking san jacinto, san gorgonio, san antonio, baden powell, finding the toughest trails to beat my feet on, and I plan on doing some desert hiking as weather permits.  I can do 20 miles in a day on easy terrain but i think its going to take some endurance training and a strict regiment to be able to do it day in day out.

I was thinking mid april. My birthday is the 8th, so right after that. That sounds awesome. 
I know nothing about the kind of physical training I should be doing. Suggestions? Im very active with hiking, biking, yoga, running...all sports...but is there Like a PCT work out? Bc that wouldn't surprise me. :-)
I want to spend a lot if time alone on the trail but also would Like to get to know people that live in that area as I have never even been to California! 
Let's keep in touch! 
I have loads of questions about gear and shoes. 
Thanks!

Hi Rebekah,
>About when do you plan on leaving?  I am going to try and shoot for a late april departure from campo.  I am planning to go solo right now but I figured I would be meeting people and hiking with them at times.  Anyways feel free to keep in touch.  I am trying to make contacts with people who are hiking next year so I can hear about how they are preparing/training.  An up side if you decide to hike with me is that I live in about an hour or two drive from most of the the southern california section and know the trail pretty well and I will be training by doing new sections so I can get familiar with them, and also my friends/family are up for being my support team and meeting me at rendevous points to drop off packages instead of mailing them so if anything comes up and people need something I can have it hand delivered, at least up until kennedy meadows.
