There is, of course, "No fool like an old fool!" but if Marge can try so can
you. Go for it man! As always I will be at ADZPCTKO rooting for you stupid
idiots.

Unfortunately, Tom, age does not always bring wisdom. Some of us older,
slower hikers still think a thru-hike is possible. Despite all the evidence
to the contrary, our egos constantly reassure us that although 30 mpd might
be a stretch, 20-25 mpd is certainly a reasonable goal. A theory we intend
to test starting in April. However, we will be starting a couple of weeks
before ADZPCTKO just to give ourselves a little edge over the younger,
stronger (but equally dim witted) thru hikers. It will be interesting to see
how quickly they catch up - and I'm sure they will, even my ego refuses to
argue that point.
