[pct-l] More on Pre-Training

[Slyatpct at aol.com (Slyatpct@aol.com)]

Ray Jardine suggests hiking 450 miles before a thru-hike to get into adequate 
shape.  That would be like hiking Campo to Agua Dulce.  Would anyone 
seriously consider starting over?

In the "How to Hike the PCT" video, the hikers featured had their own 
thoughts on this subject, but I liked Squirrels best, "why hurt twice when you can 
hurt once."

The first step is the hard part.
