Logistics:
there are plenty of sites on that
Craig's PCT Planner is a good place to start,
http://www.pctplanner.com/

And he has lots of tips
http://www.pctplanner.com/tips/

the PCTA site is good too
http://www.pcta.org/discover-the-trail/long-distance-hiking/resupply/

Someone will pipe up and try and sell you Yogi's book too.

==
Training?
get a 100lb rucksack and your M-16 and hike start hiking in utes and
boots just like you did in the Corps, right Reinhold?

But seriously, running is a good way to start, but it won't help
condition your feet. For that you will need lots of walking miles
carrying a pack.

Welcome to the list
