[pct-l] the fear

[ruthweston38 at msn.com (RUTH WESTON)]

What a great question Greg!

When I started my section hike last summer, I had many fears...being alone on the trail, being eaten by a bear, leaving all the household duties to my husband  (" We have a litter box?") , would I be able to sleep at night, would my body be strong enough.....but the constant stream of anxieties melted away after a few miles when I had something concrete to do. Just walk! It was a great feeling to get out of my head and into my feet. And all the tylenol PM in the hiker boxes was from me.  Ruth
